minus-squareNateNate60@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10arrow-down6·2 days agoI don’t get what the annoyance is with “6-7”. I’ve been using it for years and it just means “approximately” or “thereabouts”.
minus-squareDave@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkarrow-up39·2 days agoThe way my kids use it, it doesn’t mean anything. They just say it randomly in a drawn out voice.
minus-squareFishFace@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·2 days agoCan you use it in a sentence?
minus-squareDeceptichum@quokk.aulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10arrow-down4·2 days agoI’ll be there approximately 6-7 thereabouts.
minus-squaregangdinesout@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 day agoThis is funny, but don’t you mean to say: “I’ll be there 6-7 6-7 6-7”. Makes more sense that way
minus-squareFishFace@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·2 days agoThat doesn’t sound like you’re using it to mean “thereabouts” given that you have the word “thereabouts” in the sentence…
minus-squareKalothar@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 days agoWell that isn’t the same guy so there is that haha
minus-squareFishFace@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 days agoI noticed, but I thought they were at least still trying to answer the question…
minus-squareNateNate60@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·2 days agoI cannot. You can only realise it’s been used after it has already happened. I can try to think of a sentence all day but I will not come up with one because it can only come naturally.
