Treat a + b/c + d as a + b/(c + d) I can almost understand, I was guilty of doing that in school with multiplication, but auto-parenthesising the first part is really crazy take, imo

That's a really odd way to parse it.

a +   b

    c + b

Treat a + b/c + d as a + b/(c + d)

No don't. That rule was changed more than 130 years ago. a+b/c+d=a+(b/c)+d, Division before Addition
