That "Minute" comes from latin "mono" meaning "one" or "first".
That Second means second
And that there are medieval units of times called thirds and fourths, 1/60 seconds and 1/3600 seconds respectively
And that therefore there are angles called arcthirds and arcfourths that are immensely tiny fractions of a degree
And this is just turning into a rant.

C&G would insult me.
Besides, this could be useful in a science-y RP.

That's pretty cool Tim. Where do seconds come from though? |

It's the ordinal term for the number 2, I think. I stumbled across this while trying to find old terms for long amounts of time to make Arloth, my current RP series/world, seem really ancient and whatnot.

| Yeah, and I guess the weirdest part for me at-least is how us Americans use Metric-ie words for time. Like milliseconds, and so forth. |

Even worse is that Americans misspell metre and kilometre and then enforce their incorrect spelling.

The U.S is one of three countries that doesn't use the metric system, sorry that we are weird Tim. |

Moreso than you.

| I would like to move to New York, specifically New York, New York so that I can get some financial position when I retire or something. That would be fun. |

It is mostly Tim-hate, because people are really bored and don't have anything else to do. I actually feel rather bad for Tim.
Oh, yes, and the entire Roblox website changed again, with a gigantic green button telling me to upgrade now.. |

Perry, the tim-hate's been going on for years. Sometime's it's worse than other times. The people tend to change with time, but for as long as I've been here, I've been the centre of an ongoing flamewar.

| Indeed. Well. Next time I have insomnia I should remind myself to refrain from going to RP till the night threads go away. |

Eh, most of the time it's more dead than this. And there tends to be more hate as well.
