You're right, it's incredibly tedious. I've explained exactly how and why you're not right, and even given you the middle ground by saying "it's debated". Yet you still cling to the misconception that you are right, and I am wrong.
Nevermind that we're supposed to be arguing an idea here. Nevermind that I've provided sources that went all the way back into maths history to figure out exactly how things were always done. You have to be right, and you just cannot accept any reality where you're even slightly wrong.
Insert it into an American calculator, sure. I refer back to my (half-joking) comment about Americans butchering terminology.
If you check my comment history, you'll see that my 1st or 2nd comment in this thread was me trying this in my own Casio calculator. As written, I get 1, then with explicit multiplication I get 16. Everything I've said here has been an evolution of my understanding of this weird (i before e...) quirk - which is in fact the very purpose of this meme.
Have a good one, and I genuinely hope you're more open minded in your day to day life, for your own benefit.
