Counting

The incremental process that we teach to our 3 year olds so that they know how to accurately articulate the number of desired cookies. Counting is sometimes used to achieve an election result, but more often is seen in the private sector as a mechanism of identifying the millionth product sold by a given manufacturer.

Ted: How did they figure out who bought the billionth McDonald's cheeseburger?

Ralph: They were counting.

counterion

An ion having a charge opposite of the substance with which it is associated.

counting crows

The best band ever with the best albums ever. Fronted by Adam Duritz.

Perfect blue buildings
Beside the green apple seas
Oh, I wanna get me a little oblivion
Baby
Trying to keep myself
Away from myself and me
Oh, little perfect blue building
I can't keep myself away from me
Oh, little perfect blue building
