About two?
I went to a school board meeting this evening .... the school administrator was put on the spot and asked a question that required a numeric answer. The answer could have been an integer less than ten and it would have been acceptable. However the answer was "About two."
In past experience, I've had:
about a half tank of gas
about a cup of milk
about a dozen apples
about 100 nails
about 10 feet of rope
I've never had about two of anything .... it's such a small number it never warranted "about."
Was it about two because there was really only one and you didn't want to admit it .... or was it even less than one! Was it three?? How could you not keep track of three things?
The moral to this story: want to loose credibility, give a non-definitive answer.
