TheBigDog Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 I had a lesson on "confused words" this week in class. There were a couple of online quizzes that I had to take. If I will try and make a similar quiz for the forums. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric l Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 minute - timeminute - very small Actually a minute of time just meant a small part of an hour, second means a second (=further) division of the same hour. There are also the minutes of a meeting, meaning a short report. In practice they are rarely short or small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
