Talk:Basic Algebra/Introduction to Basic Algebra Ideas/Simple Operations

A Basic English Matter
We should use the gerund form for the names of operations (adding instead of addition, multiplying instead of multiplication). It is easier for a non-native speaker to understand. --Ezrakatz 05:58, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

The minus sign (in the font used for this page) is difficult to recognize. In this font, a dash would be a better choice than the hyphen.
