Hi! How to understand "in figures" in the following text? AI told me that it means "things that can be quantified, measured, or expressed numerically" in this context.
"John is practical in the extreme. He has no patience with faith, an intense horror of superstition, and he scoffs openly at any talk of things not to be felt and seen and put down in figures." 😧🙏🏻
I broke the sentence like this: John scoffs any talk of thing not to be felt, not to be seen, and not to be put down in figures.
So, John values things that can put down in figures? "put down" is in its basic meaning of "write down" in this context?

Hello! Could you help me please?
Which words should complete these sentences?
Sort this week’s words according to the number of phonemes (British English).
musician
mathematician
Does anyone know how to count those phonemes correctly?
musician (5 phonemes: /mjuˈzɪʃən/) or maybe 8 phonemes /mjuˈzɪʃən/ or maybe m-yu-z-i-sh-n (6 phonemes)?
I can't even find the rules...
Thank you!
