    I work with people who can’t count on a daily basis - This doesn’t mean that nobody can count, it just means that I get calls/emails where someone made a mistake and they need help correcting it. I get to see all of these instances occurring which creates a focus on it and in turn, a bias - if I only get calls/emails of people not being able to count, but no calls/emails about people not being able to spell, then the bias I have is that people suck at counting and are good at spelling.

    My point is that there are plenty of people that do understand it, but the people that don’t stand out and create a bias in your perspective.

      Imagine getting a call:

      “Hey), just calling to tell you everything went fine and I don’t need any help. Bye!”
