Interesting enough, it actually messes up some of my students because if you try to do a negative number squared without the parentheses, it does it the correct way of squaring and then multiplying by negative 1. Parentheses fixes it but so do dumb calculators that fuck up pedmas (or more accurately, calculators that only do once step at a time).
