PEMDAS
+ good eyesight and attention to detail
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

And knowing basic math sequence.

But what does PEMDAS stand for?

I checked the acronym thread and didn't see it... Didn't remember that it's the math sequence! **monkey covering eyes emoji**

This may not be the thread for it... but is multiplication and division equal, and addition and subtraction equal? That's how I remember it...

meaning that in an example that has both, you start from the left and don't give any of them precedence over the other?

The thing is that PEMDAS is a general rule of thumb and not always true.

ETA: I mean it's not a simple application every time, and can be tricky.

So do anti-vaxxers call it PEDMSA?

Not sure what you mean by that, but I like it nonetheless.

If the M=D and the S=A, why should we conform to the mathematical norm and use the established acronym, when we can flip it around. In fact, that is the REAL way to do it, not the way big-math is forcing everyone so that they can make money.

So just replace both the M and the D, as well as the S and the A with W (or WIWITB).
