*numeracy is the word you're looking for.

you're not wrong though, literacy is also not their strong suit :)

[–] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

In Louisiana, they think numeracy is what gets you run outta town or burned alive, and they're not entirely wrong there either, historically speaking.

[–] thbb@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No, numeracy is when you draw cards to see the future.

[–] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

No, numeracy is when you goin' around in public and ain't got no clothes on.
