    Chuckle? Hell I know full grown adults in their fifties who wear their mathematical ignorance as a badge of pride!

    It’s like they’re clinging to their youth so desperately, that they continue on with the high school trope that only nerds who are undeserving of social interaction know math.

    Meanwhile, they also tend to continuously moan online how broke they are - inevitably from decades of poor financial decisions that landed them under a mountain of usurious debt with double digit compounding interest.

    They also like to get grammatically pedantic on the regular to show off their superior language skills - usually when they’ve got nothing of value to contribute to the conversation or they know they’ve been bested, so better point out those autocorrect errors.

        Specific people. Plural. But yes, real life acquaintances are referenced.

      Honestly, if you’re good enough at math, you don’t need to be very good at reading. The reverse isn’t true.
