Re: (vocabulary is important) Re: What difference do the brackets make?

No need for parenthesis to describe that expression. Just say:

a plus b pause times pause c plus d pause times pause e pause all of it to the power of 2 f.

Alternatively:

The product of the sum of a and b, the sum of c and d, and of e, and that to the power 2 times f.

Again, this time without your lips moving! :) Okay you lot, get your wings on the left, halos on the right. It's one size fits all, and "No!", you can't have a different color. Pick up your cloud down the end and "Yes" if you get allocated a grey one they *are* a bit damp under foot, but someone has to get them. Get used to the wings fast cos its an 8 hour day...unless the Govenor calls for a cyclone or hurricane, in which case 16 hour shifts are mandatory. Just be grateful that you arrived just as the tornado season finished. Them buggers are real work.	[reply]
