As someone that grades undergraduates, I’m happy that they not use the letter “x” to imply multiplication.

I don’t understand why we teach that to children, just to turn around and tell them not to do it a few years later.

I suppose kids aren’t great at centering a dot. But they could draw a six pointed * as easily as an x, it’s one more line.
