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!
