I don't get what the annoyance is with "6-7". I've been using it for years and it just means "approximately" or "thereabouts".
The way my kids use it, it doesn't mean anything. They just say it randomly in a drawn out voice.
Can you use it in a sentence?
I'll be there approximately 6-7 thereabouts.
This is funny, but don't you mean to say: "I'll be there 6-7 6-7 6-7". Makes more sense that way
That doesn't sound like you're using it to mean "thereabouts" given that you have the word "thereabouts" in the sentence...
Well that isn’t the same guy so there is that haha
I noticed, but I thought they were at least still trying to answer the question...
I 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.
Riiight.
Wait until we have six or seven votes on these comments and maybe then we can see
