And it is not.  Of course, with rare exceptions that do not change the
overall picture.

You have done none of that.  What you have done is throwing a bunch
of titles, some of which are totally unrelated to notation, and others
talk of notations of quite a different nature and applicability.  Both kinds
are irrelevant to my claim.

Actually, you seem to have lost track of what we are discussing.

As I said just above, you have done none of that.  We are discussing
the notation of school algebra and the potential problems it may
present as related to learning mathematics.  My comments to your
'examples' clearly indicate why the latter are almost totally
irrelevant to this.

The truth is not that 'the discussions are not limited to this
topic' – it is that they are not related at all to it, with minute
exceptions.  But, as I said, and as it should be obvious in itself
in any similar case, there are always exceptions, but they are
just that: exceptions.
