I was in high school, and the teachers made us speak our exam scores out loud so the teachers could write them down; there were about 40 exams per year, and I couldn't pronounce "eight." I got an 8 on about 15% of exams, and every time I got an 8, it was a mental battle. My class had 40 students, and I was the 20th, so we only had 1-2 minutes from the first kid to me to read our exam scores out loud, and I always got stuck because I couldn't pronounce "Eight," and people started laughing at me. It was a nightmare every time I got an Eight.
