npub13xwezswq7z6vv0dshtl7fevufqnx23txjszq9py09v50cec5qzsqgqeguw (npub13xw…eguw) I got told by my high school math teacher that
sin(x) + 2 ≠ 2 + sin(x)
She said I wrote the answer down in the wrong "format" on an exam and marked it wrong. I argued with her that addition is commutative and the order doesn't matter. She said I was still wrong. I took it up to the principal who 🤷♂️ and deferred to the teacher.
That was 20 years ago and it still sticks with me because of the ludicrousness.
