Yes, it's called dyscalculia.

That's complete nonsense.

What is a disorder?

In this instance, a disorder is a mental or behavioral pattern or anomaly that causes either suffering or an impaired ability to function in ordinary life (disability), and which is not developmentally or socially normative.

What is ordinary life?

What Vomps said. Is being bad at math a disorder? Math is necessary in a lot of ordinary life. Is being a bad writer a disorder? Writing is necessary to a lot of ordinary life. Is falling in love a disorder? That causes suffering like crazy. I think presuming to tell people what is ordinary" or "normal" is arrogant, and I think classifying every deviation from the mean as a disorder is extremely dangerous.

Anxiety is not a disease.

Let the flame war begin.

I think meeting people online is just as valid a way to meet people as in person. In fact, you often get to really know people online quicker than in person.

STOP BEING HARD ON SABIE!

Can you "mete" them?

I am just asking questions! I have an inquisitive mind! I am not being hard on you at all.

What about when you meet someone on the phone. Do you use verbal quotes? "Nice to meet you?"

sabie12 wrote:Sabie is short for Sabrina if anyone would like to know my name haha. It has been nice "meeting" everyone so far and I look forward to many more fun games.

Why is meeting in quotes? What are you implying?

Oh hey, look at this:

Like Neil Armstrong, Neil Young, or Neil Diamond, pick your favorite." It was my grandmother's and then my aunt's and now mine, so third generation tradition and all. Woot, woot!

Neil Peart?

It's a pleasure.

Winner.
