Comment on I dunno
That’s PEMDAS…
They aren’t using the same words so the shorthand (if they have one) is different. I don’t think we had a shorthand for it either, we just learned it.
And we learned them in groups numbered like the Swedes
Okay then, but, fun story, the BODMAS they’re talking about is also just PEMDAS using different words and a different listed order for multiplication/division
The disadvantage of a shorthand compared to just a numbered list might be that people think it’s strictly one after the another instead of groups
