Hello, reader. If you are reading this, then well done! You are now 'not normal'. Because normal people tend to ignore this blog. You can take that however you wish. I'd prefer you took it as a compliment, though, as I have more than enough enemies on BZP at the moment.

Well, if you're still reading this, you must have taken it as a compliment, so I'll get to the point:

I recently heard someone use the phrase 'a short second'. I've figured out that it's useless, as a second is a specific measurement. There can't be a short or a long second.

So why do people use the phrase? What's the point in it?
