Unnecessary Specificity
The mother in front of me in line, when asked how old her child was, responded, "He's 19 and 1/2 months." I mean, kids are cute and all, and I understand that parents pay pretty close attention (at least when they're young) but, really, doesn't "almost two" get you all you need? Or can this little guy expect to be begging for a car for his 192nd birthday?
Comments:
AER is 8 1/2 months old. She is quite specific about that and would be deeply disappointed to be described as anything less determinative.
