What the hell does that mean? Do you make it up as you go along?
I didn't mention ions. The charges could be from electrons, pions,
kaons, omega particles or whatever.
The math of electric charges follows the math of negative numbers
perfectly. If I have 5 coulombs of charge and I subtract 7 coulombs of
charge I have -2 coulombs of charge.

ALL banks which offer overdraft checking do this.
You can do something similar with credit cards, too. If my statement
balance is $40.00, meaning I owe them $40, but I write a check for
$100.00 instead, my next statement will have a balance of $-60.00. I
"owe" them -60 dollars, meaning they owe ME $60. I can then use the
credit card until the amount I charge cancels the $-60.00. Math of
negative numbers!
