Ahaha! collocations
I don't know... I always try to avoid having a negative number first up, like -x+2. For some reason I prefer the "2-x" alternative.
there are some things in "non-standard" notation (or rather, convention) that I can accept. but there are some blatantly wrong notations which are just terrible. Such as using "=" where the person means implied, using "therefore" everywhere when it's not even needed, lack of understanding of calculus operators... etc
