WHY DIDN'T THEY TEACH US THAT !!
The crazy thing is that I can't remember the days in each month but I know Pi to 31 decimal places (yeah, super useful that is) and other obscure facts (anyone need to know the boiling point of Mercury? Anyone? No?)
WHY DIDN'T THEY TEACH US THAT !!
I dunno. I didn't get taught that in school either :)
But I could tell you all about supply and demand curves.

For example I just learned that mixing left and right may have something to do with personality! lolhttp://typeindepth.com/2010/11/mixing-right-and-left/
And here I thought I was the only one!
left and right have always been a problem.
i was asked once to sit in some ones car and put my foot on the brakes, I couldn't remember which one it was. I had to stop thinking about it, been driving for 30 years.
it comes from the old Germanic "Woden" but then why isn't it Wodensday?
I invented a midweek drinks-after-work tradition which I called "Woden's Day" (it also applies to an old English god I think). We still meet with ex-colleagues every now and then and people sat "we'll get together at the next Woden's Day"
I grew up in a house where some plumber switched the hot and cold feed lines. So my parents put the blue and red marked knobs on the then hot and cold. Now I am NEVER remembering which way on a single handle faucet where the hot is and where the cold, or on knobs not marked.
There also some words that even when into my 40s I would not know the meaning to, but it seemed everyone else did. Usually, not so uncommon words, as then I would hear them often. I can't figure out how they had gotten past me all those years.
