    The difference would just be how you think of the process. I sometimes shuffle around the numbers to make math easier, but the shortcut for adding 9s just feels different. Instead of 9+7 = 10 + 6, it’s more like 9+7 = 17-1. It feels less like solving it with math and more like using a cool trick, since you didn’t really use addition to solve the addition problem.

    Heh. If you’re so smart, why did you make a typo? I’m not going to listen to an idiot who doesn’t know the difference between <word you typed> and <word you clearly meant>.

    You’ve got to be on constant alert or your phone’s autocorrect changing lets to let’s at the wrong time will derail the entire conversation.
