I did not flip any signs
Yes you did! 😂
merely reversed the order in which the operations are written out
No, merely reversing the order gives -3-2+1 - you changed the signs on the 1 and 3.
If you read the right side from right to left, it
Starts with -3, which you changed to +3
it has the same meaning as the left side from left to right
when you don’t change any of the signs it does 😂
Hell, the convention that the sign is on the left is also just a convention
Nope, it’s a rule of Maths, Left Associativity.

If that’s your idea of reversing the order, then you’re not talking about the same thing as SpaceCadet@feddit.nl. They’re talking about the order of operations and the associativity property. You’re talking about the order of the symbols.
