minus-squareNateNate60@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months 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-up0·5 months 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-up0·5 months agoCan you use it in a sentence?
minus-squarelumpenproletariat@quokk.aulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoI’ll be there approximately 6-7 thereabouts.
minus-squareFishFace@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months 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-up0·5 months agoWell that isn’t the same guy so there is that haha
minus-squareNateNate60@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months 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.
