Answer 1

Answer 2

have you ever been tested for dyslexia? it can be so mild you will go through school and its undetected. Get it checked.

Answer 3

Perhaps 85K is just an amount that you can not comprehend just how much it is. But 25K you can. So the higher amount is just not really phasing you.

Answer 4

you are not a r****d no one is.

but you may have a learning disability get it checked out by the doctor.

Answer 5

Well, think of it this way.

Which sounds like a better deal? 2 dollars or $1.99?

People think they are saving money if they go with an item that is .99 instead of rounding up.

It's a marketing strategy that has worked for years, even though it's only one cent different.

Sometimes our brains thinks that one thing makes more sense than something else. Our brains are amazing and they say we only use 10% of our brains...imagine the possibilities....We do not always understand these odd things.

Answer 6

LOL.

Gee, happens to me all the time.

A million dollars? Psh....nothing

567,643?!?!?!?- OMG!

I thought I was the only one! xD

Hmm...well, seems like we have tons in common.=P

I look forward to getting to know you!

Edit: LOL! If she has a learning disability, well then I guess I do too....=D

Answer 7

i doubt it a form of dyslexia.. i think it just might be since 25 is nice and round of a number that it appears greater on instinct to you.. if thats the case.. it something you can work on by conscious thinking about it instead of reacting and talking so quickly..
