Was anyone else ever taught it as BOMDAS as opposed to BODMAS?

There's no difference.

Addition and subtraction are the same operation, multiplication and division are the same operation.

So:

BO(MD)(AS) == BO(DM)(AS)

EDIT: in order to stop confusing people, it should just be: BOMA.

No they're not, but they are both binary operators.

Leaving out D and S confuses people about where to do them in the order. It's intended to be used as a checklist
