Argos: You got it wrong...

Topics

Don't let anyone tell you that you don't learn anything watching TV. I noticed in a recent Argos advert that they used the term lightyear as a unit of time. But as we all know from The Big Bang Theory, a lightyear is a unit of distance.

I must admit that always annoys me too. It shouldn't, but it does.

Another one is the misuse of the term "quantum leap"...
