Congrats on doing it right?
Many people don't. Even that addition/subtraction example I used was not my own. It was from wikipedia, as an example of an overly simple problem that is commonly done wrong because of a PEMDAS misinterpretation.
Again, I'm saying "don't do it the wrong way," and you're saying "why not just do it the right way?"
