In my days in a USA elementary school,
all calculations were performed
by first writing down the numbers,
then commencing to perform the arithmetic upon them.

That's exactly what "RPN" is, so back in those days,
everyone who graduated my USA elementary school
(and necessarily even those who taught them)
were already "masters of RPN."

What do they do now in school -- start performing
the arithmetic before they write down the numbers
upon which it is to be performed?

Now _that_ must really take more smarts than we ever had
