You count it in your head, every time. An official count is not needed. Then, you have knowledge of how much time to put on, every time.

If you mentally do the standard count 1-Miss-is-sip-pi, 2-Miss-is-sip-pi, etc....you get resolution to 0.2 seconds since it is 5 syllables. If you do one-thou-sand-one, one-thou-sand-two, you get 0.25 seconds of resolution.
