Thanks -- I do know how to work around the problem. Still, does anyone think it should work the way it does?

Well, I do think that it is fair for the command to expect ()'s where needed. How would you expect the conversion to handle: 5_°F+13_°F▶_°C

Should the addition happen first or should the conversion happen first? In your original case, there is ambiguity in whether the negation should be attached to the Fahrenheit temperature or to the result after the conversion (though perhaps you may not have seen it that way). Your complaint is that the calculator cannot read your mind, and I would say your expectations make for one tall order.
