NUMBERS MAKE ME NUMB

As a matter of fact, I have never been a numbers person.

Maths was my least favourite subject. I was particularly terrified of long counts and sign errors (and, being a distracted person, such mistakes happen usually to me).
 When I chose the Translation degree, I sighed in relief upon taking the heavy eight-year-old loadstone of numbers off my chest. I was horribly naive.

For, now, a minimum word count is required in this blog project. I can't just count every single word while wondering if acronyms and fixed expressions count as one word or more than one.
