RE: About Joe's article multiplication is not commutative
I stand corrected. The title and article should say "associative", not "commutative". Thanks to everybody who caught that. A pertinent footnote has been appended to the article.

Homiletic license. ;-) Intentionally provocative ambiguity is one of my favorite rhetorical devices. It keeps the audience awake and thinking. However, I'll try not to misidentify math properties in the future.
