    Oh hell yeah! I always called this “counting by sight”. Learned it when on my paper route. Counting by 1 always caused me to fuck up the count. Starting counting sets of three, which I could visually keep track of.

    Excellent there’s a name for it.

      That is a great example. I had never thought of this and came across it randomly.

      4 / and you’re done, on to the next set. As much as I overanalyze quite a few things, this one never registered. Thanks.
