I'd give this a mark of thirteen if I could... worth ten just for getting the word 'triskaidekaphobia's'...what is an illusionary fear? a government with a good environmental policy?

it's a shame more maths skills aren't put into haiku format - may have got above grade C if they were! Justine.(Is there a word for fear of numbers? ?)

Thanks Mark! Illusionary triskaidekaphobia is when you fear you saw 13 of something but then aren't sure. Naturally, that fear would be un-ac countable, right?
