You wouldn't turn into a blithering feral beast because someone was recording you with their phone. Why should it matter if they're using glasses instead?

you still go left to right

Unless there's implied multiplication, which there is. Then you do that before the explicit division.

Go for the flowers, stay for the etymology of fictional country names

TIL the two countries in The Princess Bride are both named after a Dutch currency

That's three felonies, counting the threat

They half-assed it by leaving the edge black
