Teach maths its safer than all those silly letters.... oh Booger... Algebra.

 

I am a maths teacher, I don't disagree with Fry, but like in maths you need to have rules in language to define meaning.

 

4 + 3 × 5 = 60 if I want to change the meaning I can add brackets (4 + 3) × 5 = 35.

 

Using the classic Lynne Truss (now she is head of the grammar police) book title. "The bear eats shoots and leaves" refers to the bear's diet. Add a comma "The bear eats, shoots and leaves" can now mean a crime in a cafe (or a brothel if you prefer the old joke). I merely, frustratedly asked for commas to be used so that I could avoid having to read it three times to guess the meaning.

Send reinforcements. We are going to advance.

Send three and fourpence. We are going to a dance.

If you want to be right 4 + 3 x 5 = 19

If you use a standard calculator it will say 4+3x5= 35

If you use a scientific calculator it will say 4+3×5=19

I put 60 in as a deliberate mistake, and none of you spotted it.

 

You can lead a brain to wonder, but you cant make it think

I added brackets into an equation for the first time on Sunday and the wife nearly killed me. The TV fell off the wall.
