Ok, sorry, but this is not about politics or similar things where I
would never write such things.
I am just very tired of different notations that just makes it harder

It is a bit frightened that pupils on the introductory courses at
university level do not know these precedence rules. (Though I would not
mind if they were not reading math.)
