^ Me, too. Wait, let me double check. *counts on fingers* Yes, that's correct.

Me either.
I do too. Unfortunately it got classified as “not applying myself” although I had straight As in every other subject. I was in advanced placement for everything, yet stuck in remedial math. But no—I just chose not to apply myself in one area.
Thanks a lot Catholic school.

That was me, also in Catholic high school. AP classes in English & History and won the class award for Spanish...but struggled in remedial Math. I definitely have some type of "Math Dyslexia." It's bizarre. I constantly switch numbers around and sometimes just go blank trying to work out even simple calculations.
My first exposure to Monty Python was a VHS tape of Holy Grail recorded from TV, with the first twenty minutes missing. My brothers and I watched it dozens of times. It wasn't until years later I got to see the complete film.
I love Wes Anderson movies.
My math problem was what kept me from getting my degree in communications. One damn class. Of course, my overall health would have forced me to leave my job less than a decade later anyway, but I would have at least HAD that job if it wasn't for the damn math class I couldn't pass.I do too.

I have never owned, fired, or even touched an actual gun. Nor do I have any desire to do so.
I did once have this thing I got at the circus when I was 5 years old. It didn't actually shoot anything, but when you pulled the 'trigger' it made a kind of whining noise and sparks flew around inside it.
I was never that great at math. I got A's and B's in most everything else. I had a lot of trouble with algebra though. I wasn't particularly fond of geometry either but I squeaked by.
I was told to apply myself too.
Apply this!

Sadly, there are quite a few people who would do such things--- people who were missing fingers when they died prematurely.
I’m glad I’m not alone with the math issue.
Maybe the next generation will have more awareness around this problem. I think it can be as debilitating as any other learning disability. Especially for people who like science, like me.

A corollary: I don't want to live if I can't read.

The military says I'm Red-Green colorblind. Civilian eye doctor says I'm not. I don't get it either.
^You only see civilian/pacifist colours
