Math Words versus Math Notation

[Nine Divines]

The common tongue dictates what grammar is. It's only when we start sending letters and emails is when someone gets on their high horse. And that's what I love about maths, you can't argue with its notation.

you can't argue with its notation

Unfortunately, people do! And probably more harshly than about grammar, since they think there should be no disagreements about math.

can't argue with [math] notation

That doesn't seem to be a rule in this forum!

Hello, again. There are good references online, like this dictionary. Please review one, and then tell us which part(s) you find confusing. Cheers
