The link presented earlier in this thread, <http://documents.wolfram.com/mathematica/book/section-A.2.7> starts off with: A.2.7 Operator Input Forms Characters that are not letters, letter-like forms or structural elements are treated by Mathematica as operators. Since letters are not numbers (i.e., numerals); the formal documentation on "letter-like forms" makes no mention of numbers; and I don't think that numbers are "structural elements" (didn't look that one up, actually), does this mean that Mathematica treats "3" as an operator, so that inputs like a 3 b or a3b are taken as some kind of operator connecting a and b, or operating on b?
