Short story, PEMDAS kinda sucks, because it has 4 levels of priority, but 6 letters:

M and D are the same level, priority is from left to right.
A and S are the same level, priority is from left to right.

Just tested this on a Ti-83 too.

8/2(2+2) = 16

My one big criticism of the Ti-83/84 is implicit multiplication. Ti says 1/2x is 0.5x when I needed the reciprocal of 2x.
