Oh, and another thing: They don't just predict the next word.

    The 7 times table is unfriendly?

    I love 7 timeses. If numbers were sentient, I think I could be friends with 7.

      I’ve always hated it and eight. I can only remember the ones that are familiar at a glance from the reverse table and to this day I sometimes just sum up and down from those “anchor” references. They’re so weird and slippery.

        Huh.

        Going back to the “being friends” thing, I think you and I could be friends due to applying qualities to numbers; but I think it might be challenging because I find 7 and 8 to be two of the best. They’re quirky, but interesting.

        Thank you for the insight.
