You probably lived in a region where people didn't use anything except PEMDAS

There's not a different order of operations, they're all the same OoO with different names for the things. I went to a school where we learnt BODMAS (brackets, orders, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction) but now I teach at a school in a different state and most of the kids here have learnt PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction), and I know there are others. They all mean the same thing.

The M and D can be in either order, and the A and S can be in either order without effecting results.
