    I wish. We had a weird schedule at work the other day and I left the house after sunrise… Golly, I know it’s February but I swear I could hear the birds and see godly sunshine the whole drive. “Is this what empowerment feels like?” I thought.

    It’s dialectic – there’s lot’s of them in the US, but this one afk belongs to Black American English, and is shortened from “fixin’ to.” Personally, I think it’s cool to see so many variations of English. The language is definitely not static; it is changing all the time!



  • It’s organized so that more powerful operations get precedence, which seems natural.

    Set aside intentionally confusing expressions. The basic idea of the Order of Operations holds water even without ever formally learning the rules.

    If an addition result comes first and gets exponentiated, the changes from the addition are exaggerated. It makes addition more powerful than it should be. The big stuff should happen first, then the more granular operations. Of course, there are specific cases where we need to reorder, or add clarity, which is why human decisions about groupings are at the top.
