What Does 1 (one) Say?
What does it really mean?

Oh my gosh, there are so many ways to express the number 1.
However, here on Medium, it only counts in claps. Maybe we should ask ourselves when we give one clap, are we saying:
- 1 clap; I read your story
- 1 clap; that’s nice
- 1 clap; it’s absolutely the best story I’ve ever read or
- 1 clap; I don’t want to hold the clap button down anymore. It takes too much effort to applaud more than one.
Do you see how confusing it can be?
What if we said:
- 1 clap; there I read it
- 10 claps; nice story
- 25 claps; that was helpful
- 50; great story, thanks.
We are all left to our own style. The real problem is that most of us don’t know the meaning of ONE clap. Oh, did you know you can do as many as FIFTY? I didn’t until I had been on board for more than a few months. I had actually gone to sleep, and my finger kept working. I was surprised and pleased. It was a great story. The power of fifty is real.
