Re:Why is there not a Square Root button in calc.exe? by sprout on Saturday August 21, 2010 @05:42PM (#1623720)
I think the first calculator I used was one of those. It took me till college and programming before I really properly learned precedence because I never trusted any calculator I was using, and always used parentheses.

This also kind of influences my programming, probably for the better - I would rather use parens and be clear than be ambiguous and trust that my interpreter and I agree on what has proper precedence.
