My wife just told me she heard a rumor that some elementary schools have stopped teaching subtraction.

"Less is more" comes to mind.

Um... I want to say something about this, but it would break every rule of the lounge.

So what alternative are they teaching? Adding negative numbers to something else?
Or is that banned also because anything "negative" has bad connotations that'll make a snowflake melt...?

Definitely worth seeing! It really hits the nail on the head.
I guess that pointing out in which ways would violate the rules of The Lounge.

Next, the number 666 will be removed from math, sort of like why buildings didn't/don't have a 13th floor.
Quote: Early tall-building designers, fearing a fire on the 13th floor, or fearing tenants' superstitions about the rumor, decided to omit having a 13th floor listed on their elevator numbering. This practice became commonplace, and eventually found its way into American mainstream culture and building design.

It's already worse than that - American buildings must be based on VB. The floor numbers are 1-based, with no sign of 0 (the ground floor) anywhere.

Are you saying VB is 1-based? Not as far as I know...

VB's legacy string functions certainly are:
Dim testString As String = "Mid Function Demo"
Dim firstWord As String = Mid(testString, 1, 3)
Dim lastWord As String = Mid(testString, 14, 4)
Dim midWords As String = Mid(testString, 5)

Well... arrays are 0-based, afaik.
I would argue, though... when asked for the first letter of your name, do you say "R" or "I"

They are now; but VB.NET still declares arrays by specifying the upper bound, rather than the length, because of the legacy syntax.
Dim numbers(4) As Integer In VB6 and earlier, you could use:
Dim numbers(1 To 42) which would create an array with 1-based indices.
The lower bound was optional, and the default could be changed by using the Option Base setting, leading to confusing code with hard to find bugs.

Young software people of today believe that 0-based arrays is a law of nature, just like 1+1=2 (or possibly 11, in some interpreted, weakly typed languages).
They never programmed in Pascal, Algol, Ada, Fortran, APL ...
An aside: A Korean guy told me that in Korean culture, a person's age is 1-based (besides being based on a moon calendar): The first 12 months (/moons) of a baby's life, he is 1 years old. After completing one year, starting on the second, he is two.
In older European prose it is not uncommon to see wordings such as "When I was in my fourteenth year", which means at age 13. Also, centuries are 1-based.
