  • People saying “5 minutes” for anything from 2-15 minutes.

    3x the measurement isn’t really a helpful approximation.

  • I often say 7mins, because 5 or 10 minutes can mean anything from 1min to 20min.

    In reality "5 min" in English means "wait for me to finish". It is not a measure of time.
