This is just a convention you follow. It's not "wrong" if it's done the other way around. Just saying. Yes, it is wrong. When we take two different variables, unless both of them are equal (like 3 x 3), then writing them other way around makes it wrong as the meaning changes. These are the conventions that are considered general and are followed, not just me.

The general idea in mathematics is L x B { for example, we generally see the Perimeter of a Rectangle as 2 (L + B), not 2 (B+L) }. Also, if the variables are different, then 3 x 4 or 4 x 3 mean totally different things when it comes to defining range. So it is "wrong". Just saying. Just because the game says 1 x 4 doesn't mean it's right. We seen a lot of mistakes in the game (and in the Almanac) up until now.

Sure but this is not a math game. It's a game about plants and zombies. No need to have a stick that far up the a**.

And what other mistakes are present in the game and the almanac?

By the way breadth is a little weird in this context; most people prefer W (width). And thanks to the commutative property of addition, 2 (L + B) = 2 (B + L).
