Is it more socially acceptable to be bad at math than it is say to be bad at English or reading?

Unless you socialize primarily with mathematicians, physicists, or any other profession for which the routine application of mathematical principles is an integral component, it is difficult to imagine one being socially ostracized for being deficient in math. After all, many learned professionals struggle with math, yet do not find themselves socially-isolated or looked-down-upon by their peers at cocktail parties or at formal events.

Unless you socialize primarily with mathematicians, physicists, or any other profession for which the routine application of mathematical principles is an integral component, it is difficult to imagine one being socially ostracized for being deficient in math. After all, many learned professionals struggle with math, yet do not find themselves socially-isolated or looked-down-upon by their peers at cocktail parties or at formal events. One of the websites to which a link is provided below, in fact, lists six prominent scientific figures from modern history who struggled with math, including Charles Darwin, Alexander Graham Bell, and Thomas Edison. Nobody would suggest that such figures were unwelcome at social events or were bad at socializing on account of their inability to perform advanced calculus. In short, it was and remains socially-acceptable to bad at math.

The question, then, is whether those who are not well-read or speak poorly are more or less likely to be deficient in social settings or be socially-accepted than those who are bad at math. Again, unless one is immersed on a routine basis in an environment dominated by mathematicians or physicists, it is difficult to believe that being deficient at math would be socially unacceptable. And, it is difficult to imagine a social gathering dominated by mathematicians would be particularly exciting, anyway, although, it is possible that such a gathering could be entertaining. Outside of a gathering of mathematicians, therefore, there would be a premium on being well-spoken and well-read. People at a gathering are far more likely to discuss sports, current affairs, movies or their favorite books than they are quantum mechanics. Being inarticulate and ignorant of literature and the fine arts, or of issues of national or local importance will almost certainly result in one being more socially-isolated than if that individual struggles with mathematical equations.
