Man, I probably see 20 of those every morning when I walk around the neighborhood. The babies are so cute. So tiny.

Oh, there it is

I did not. These are the first celebrity Oreos I've encountered.

Are you sure that it's not Selena Gomez flavored?

"Now with real Selena Gomez flesh in every bite!"

Oh! I think you're exactly right, based on the description. They're pandering to the Latinos.

Let's see, where did I put that barfing emoji...?

Clearly the food chemists all had to take a taste.

If all people did was simple equations like the one in the OP, you'd probably be right, but math syntax has to deal with all kinds of equations. Your way, I can't write 3x^2–4x+5. Instead, I'd have to write ((((3x)^2)−4)x)+5. That's WAY more obnoxious. It's better to have an unambiguous syntax that covers all the cases and lets me write equations in an more simple form.

But that's a bit like saying "If you're going to talk to me, put the adjectives before the nouns," even in Spanish where they come after. Mathematical notation is a language and it has a syntax. Sure, you can decide to ignore that syntax, or insist that people modify their use of it for you, but it's not really a reasonable expectation.

Favorite "all time" would have me looking through a lot of titles, but I've really been enjoying Adrian Tchaikovsky lately, and some of his is hard SF. Probably Children of Time would be the one I'd start with.

If you like hard SF, you've probably read Weir (The Martian, Project Hail Mary, others), but he's great.

I could go on a lot, but maybe I'll keep it there unless you want more.

Okay, makes sense
