Saying "times it" instead of "multiply"

Re: Saying "times it" instead of "multiply"
That bothers me too-regardless of where I am in my cycle. 
I don't think I've heard an adult say that in a while though. . .

Oh, that would drive me crazy! You could be a PIA, & say, "Times it? What does that mean" Oh. . .MULTIPLY, oh--that I know how to do! "

It drives me nuts. DH is always guilty of this.
And ftr, I got AF this week too. I guess I won't be a member of the 2 under 1 club...not that I wanted to be!

You would not make it down South for a day. Every ridiculous phrase is used down here...constantly. "Just round there" excuse me but is around there to the left or right?

Do you mean when someone says 5 times 5 = 25?  That doesn't bother me.

No, not "5 times 5", but as an instruction, as in
"then you take that number and times it by 5" instead of :
"then you take that number and multiply it by 5"

Exactamundo! Not the number by the number, but using it as the mathematical term - what you'll do is take this and times each one by 2....

Times it bothers me too
I will never forget when I was in HS, I worked at a mom & pop drugstore and I need more $1 dollar bills for my drawer...so I asked the know-it-all daughter to get me some "dollar bills" and she said NO I will get you some SINGLES But alas...to this day I say singles
