Do you think it is cursed and weird to write "y + x" and not "x + y" in algebra?

[warm ravine]

Yes

[grave oracle]

yes

it looks wrong

[warm ravine]

It is wrong

It's supposed to be alphabetical order

We have the song for a reason

[midnight glen]

Since when did that rule exist /gen
Im curious cuz i have never heard of that before
I only know it is a social convention to put alphabetical order first since it looks neater and cleaner

But i have never heard of it being an actual rule?

[warm ravine]

Yeah, social convention

It's an unspoken rule

Decided globally

[midnight glen]

But if it's a social convention, doesnt mean it is wrong right?

At most, it would look a little odd

[warm ravine]

It's not supposed to be that serious

I did not mean for it to be that serious

I talked about the abc song 😭

[midnight glen]

Oh ok i see 😭
Sorry for the misunderstanding ww

[warm ravine]

That was my one and only argument

[warm ravine]

Nah, it's my fault too

[midnight glen]

No worries
