In college, studying mathematics, probability was the course in did best in. The funny part is that I have a form of ilnumeria. Effectively I can’t count. As a result I have no desire to try to actually count things, and the easiest way for me to cope is by understanding the theory behind counting.

I had the same reaction when it gave me a color that I immediately identified as teal, and I learned my colors as a monolingual english speaker in Ohio. Therefore the supposition that all English speakers see only blue or green is an oversimplification.
