I used to work in a deli. Our scales gave weights in decimals, people always ordered in fractions. One day someone asked for an eighth of a pound. My coworker asks me “Is that .8?” I politely told her “it’s .125, so it needs to say about .13.” I guess part of it was panic, maybe if she had thought about it for a second she would have gotten it, but to think it’s more than a half pound was crazy. People ask for a half pound all the time.
I can get that. Whenever I am sharing my screen or someone is watching me use a computer I turn into a boomer. I can’t type. I can’t find anything. I lose where the mouse is. Very annoying!
Idk, math comes naturally to me. I would get my sleep in during math class lectures, and finish before everyone else. English on the other hand was confusing to me, still is. One has straight forward rules, the other is chaotic.

Me too!
How old were they? That is forth grade math.
You can blank out on simple math at any age.
