count

I agree that it is important to get the counts as close to perfect as can be (and that it is *much* better to call the 10-second violation after 11 seconds than after 9 seconds).

A practical tip (among many): A couple of years ago, I decided that I should be testing my counts and I started counting with the microwave as it counts down. I realized that the *real* count is faster than I thought it was. Now, when I test myself with the microwave - which I do regularly, if not daily - I'm pretty consistent. A couple of years of practice counting will help. (For those of you with families, warn the household occupants not to get too close to you in the kitchen so they don't get whacked with the visible count!).
