      No, I think we all learned that multiplication is commutative in late elementary school, and obviously that’s an important thing to know.

      But I think the original post tried to make it out to be some magical mathematical trick, and I really don’t understand that. Maybe I misunderstood the post.

      Edit: wow, “commutative” is a really hard word to spell.
