^yay. I love parenthesis. Anybody who has seen me write a LOT,
   has seen that I write like a programmer - 'cause I've been
   programming since I was a kid. Parenthesis lets things sit
   inside of other things, inside of other things, inside of other
   things etc. They teach it wrong in school, at least in the USA.
   More reason why I wish they would teach computer programming AT
   THE SAME TIME they teach beginning math in kindergarten/first
   grade and beyond. If they teach it right in the beginning,
   people won't keep falling back into old, bad habits. And it
   makes math consistent with how we use other written languages.^
