So there is a commercial running now which advertises something that is "24/7/365." This is seriously one of my pet peeves because hello? Think about that for a second. "24/7" is "twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week." So if you add another number it should refer to the weeks, because that's the next level up. Right? It should be "24/7/52" -- "twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, fifty-two weeks a year." If you want to get the "365" in there then leave out the "7"! You're mentioning weeks for no reason if you're just going to revert to counting days!

This bugs me a lot more than it should but HELLO? THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING TO ME!

Than it'll be

60 seconds a minute, 1,440 minutes a day, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year, 365 days a year.

okay.. that doesn't make sense either.. I give up.. you continue with your little pet peeve...

Haha, did you know there was 1,440 minutes a day, or did you have to figure it out? I didn't know that number before, you're smart. XD;

But in your example I think it should be: 60 seconds a minute, 60 minutes an hour, 24 hours a day, etc. Because otherwise you have the "xx a day" twice.

Hahaha, I am very pet peevey about this! ^_~;;

Oh man oh man. This made me miss you in unbelievable ways.

How are things with you? Besides outraged?

I agree completely, though, with your rage.

It makes me so happy that this, of all posts, is the post that makes you miss me! XD!

Things are good! Did Bri tell you that we paid a visit to the international exchange office today? Because WE ARE STALKING YOU.

I am glad to be agreed with! :D
