- teawrecks 5y agoAlmost every one of those Facebook reposts with an ambiguous math equation features an obelus. It only seems to create confusion.
- commoner 5y agoYou're right. The division sign is also unambigious. Unfortunately, it's not usually found on keyboards so many people are accustomed to using slashes. SpeedCrunch and other calculator apps still need to have an unambiguous way of interpreting the expression when the user types or pastes in a slash. The apps could convert slashes to division signs before displaying them on the screen, since that's how the symbols should be interpreted. This is how GNOME Calculator resolves the ambiguity.
