You have declined to admit to a simple error you made

Not me, must be you! 😂

that early calculators lacked a stack,

They didn't 🙄

that basic four function calculators all did and still do

Have a stack, yes. I have one and it quite happily says that 2+3x4=14, something it can't do without putting "2+" on the stack while it does the 3x4 first 🙄

There’s no point having a discussion with someone so stubborn that they can’t admit a single mistake.

says someone too stubborn to admit making a mistake 🙄

I’m not sure whether you’re trying to wind people up or just a bit dim

Neither. I'm the one doing fact-checks with actual, you know, facts, like my simple calculator having a stack and correctly evaluating 2+3x4=14. It's the one I had in Primary school. The one in the first manual works the exact same way

this conversation is like trying to explain something to a particularly stuck-up dog

So maybe start listening to what I've been trying to tell you then. 🙄 It's all there in textbooks, if you just decide to read more than 2 sentences out of them.

The real tragedy is that you claim to be out there teaching kids this overcomplicated and false drivel.

Facts, as per the syllabus and Maths textbooks. Again, you need to read more than 2 sentences to discover that 🙄

only if you show that you’re not just a troll.

says person who has thus far refused to read more than 2 sentences out of the textbook 🙄

You can do that by admitting that you were wrong to say that all calculators have stacks

I wasn't wrong 🙄 The first manual that was linked to proved it. If you don't press the +/= button before the multiply then it will put the first part on the stack and evaluate the multiplication first, something it doesn't do if you press the +/= first to make it evaluate what you have typed in so far. 🙄 Every calculator will evaluate what you have typed in so far if you press the equals button, as pointed out in the first manual

because I showed you two examples

The first of which had a stack 🙄 the second of which was a chain calculator, designed to work that way. You're the one being dishonest

you were wrong

No I wasn't

that this screenshot

Which is a 1912 textbook. It also calls Factorising "Collections", and The Distributive Law "The Law of Distribution", and Products "Multiplication". Guess what? The language has changed a little in the last 110 years 🙄

it’s from Advanced Algebra by J.V. Collins, pg 6

Yep, published in 1912

On page 3, the concept of juxtaposition is introduced

And we now call them Products. 🙄 You can see them being called that in Modern Algebra, which was published in 1965. In fact, in Lennes' infamous 1917 letter, he used the word Product (but didn't understand, as shown by his letter), so the language had already changed then

admitting to an error on your part

There was no error. The language has changed since 1912 🙄

you actually are capable of admitting error

Of course I am. Doesn't mean I'm going to "admit" to an error when there is none 🙄
