    I disagree. Without explicit direction on OOO we have to follow the operators in order.

    The parentheses go first. 1+2=3

    Then we have 6 ÷2 ×3

    Without parentheses around (2×3) we can’t do that first. So OOO would be left to right. 9.

    In other words, as an engineer with half a PhD, I don’t buy strong juxtaposition. That sounds more like laziness than math.
