>i was half-joking, but you honestly thin that today's general population isn't familiar with simple multiplication?

Fuck, if I have to be a pedant, I'd better go all the way: well, they might be, but

1) they don't use * as the multiplication symbol, but ~ "x".

2) they don't multiply words and numbers... Repeating a string this way is something programmers do.
