Learn English – “I counted with that”, is it correct in this sentence

word-requestword-usage

I heard very little about count with:

Count with me" means that we both say "1… 2… 3… 4…" at the
same time.

I have an equation and I'm saying to myself "Yes, I counted with that" meaning I didn't forget to include a certain variable in my calculation.

With this meaning, I suppose Count with me could also mean "Include me into your plan".

Can I use it that way? If not, what would you say in my place?

EDIT:

The meaning I seek is: be aware of and take the appropriate action/precaution/..

  • […] that tomorrow we leave early. (So I should not forget to prepare myself for early exit)
  • He's leaving in two weeks, […] . (So I should talk or do anything with him while he's still here because I should be aware he's leaving)
  • I […] the velocity so the result is correct. (Saying that I was aware of the velocity and so I calculated it correctly)
  • […] that I will go with you. (Make sure you don't forget to include me as well)

EDIT (after a few years):
I should rephrase the question like this:
Often I tend to use the word "count" when in my mind I'm thinking, doing some calculation or reckoning.

Best way to put it: I counted with {something} being on my mind, hence I want to just shorten the phrase, not having to always say "being on my mind" at the end.

For example:
I'm in the middle of cooking dinner. Woman comes in and says: Do you realize we are going to a restaurant tonight? Yes, I counted with that, but {some clever answer}.


Given this explanation, the "with" is used correctly (with something being on my mind). Which makes me wonder why is it still so wrong?

"Count with me" basically means "Let's count together/at the same time." "Count" is a verb in the imperative tense, and "with me," is a prepositional phrase. You could also say to someone, "Eat with me," meaning, "Let's eat together/at the same time." You could also say to someone, "Skate with me," meaning "Let's skate together/at the same time." You can use this construct with lots of active verbs.

I have never heard someone say in reference to an equation "Yes, I counted with that." If I wanted to communicate that I didn't forget a certain variable in my calculation, I might say, "Yes, I included that," but it would depend on the context.

"Count with me" doesn't mean "Include me in your plan." There's the idiom, "Count me in!" which I think better expresses what you mean to say. "Count me in!" basically means, "I want to be included in what you're doing!"
