Please Exuse My Dear Aunt...

P- Parentheses
E- Exponents
D- Divide
M- Multiply
A- Add
S- Subtract

I actually remembered what the letters in the acronym stood for. Wow, it's been ages (well not literally) since I've thought about this acronym or even thought of using it. I've been trying to make a concerted effort to think about using math each day or applying what I'm learning. I have to say I can't find an everyday operation for this rule from my own work. Though most likely there is one and I'm just not seeing it right now.
