minus-squareNateNate60@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10arrow-down5·11 hours 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-up37·11 hours 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-up13·10 hours agoCan you use it in a sentence?
minus-squareNateNate60@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 hours 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.
