BODMAS (or BEDMAS), not BOMDAS. (unless they did that in some random state). I'm an Australian Maths teacher

Or it was some random teacher. Or it was more than fifteen years ago. I dunno, it was just what I was taught.

Yeah, maybe. My Year 7 students, who have come fresh to me from Year 6, use BEDMAS, and I teach BEDMAS for consistency (I also think it's a better acronym anyway - think of a massive 4-poster bed to ingrain the idea of BED-MAS)...
