 ## syntax
 a CR document consists of any number of sentences. a sentence in CR consists of a single expression. each expression in CR evaluates to a noun.
 
-an expression consists of a literal noun (expressed as a sequence of alphebetic characters or if it is a number, numerical characters), a binary operation, or a unary operation. unary operators prefix the expression they operate upon. binary operators appear between the expressions they operate upon and are right-associative. parenthesis can be used to explicitly group expressions.
+an expression consists of a literal noun (expressed as a sequence of alphebetic characters or if it is a number, numerical characters), a binary operation, or a unary operation. unary operators prefix the expression they operate upon and are higher precedence than binary operators. binary operators appear between the expressions they operate upon and are right-associative. parenthesis can be used to explicitly group expressions.
 
 "quotations" are a special type of literal noun which refer to statements or sequences of text themselves. there are two types of quotations. a bracket quotation is surrounded in square brackets, and must contain within it a syntactically valid CR document. a normal quotation is enclosed in double quotes and may contain anything of any syntactic validity or language. however, a normal quotation must be properly escaped. the only escape sequences available in a normal quotation are `\\` and `\"`.
