In the image he isn’t using his thumb to count, so 2 would be the middle finger.

Why would you count with only 4 fingers when the hand has 5?

[-] belluck@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 months ago

I think it’s because in the UK they start counting (regularly) with the index finger, so the regular binary two would look unnatural in context
