Talk:24/7 service

Untitled

I have run into one or two websites who say they are open '25 hours', is this simply supposed to denote that they never close (similarly to putting in 110% into something)?--Dcsmith 12:46, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

I'd simply assume that to be a marketing gag, based on its logical impossibility. MadMaxDog 08:57, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Year-round service phraseology

"24/7/365"

Is this phrase not illogical? 24/7 denotes 24 hours x 7 days a week. So following that formula it should be 24/7/52, correct? 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year? Otherwise, according to the phrase it is "24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year" which breaks the trend in sorting service hours. Luet 06:57, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Even if the phrase is illogical, it does not make it confusing, I think, and there's no reason why people won't use it. Not our business to change language to fit semantic logic... Ingolfson 01:25, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Illogical? 7 * 52 equals only 364 days! It would make far more sense to write "8760 hours a year". Then again, neither of those handles leap years -- but writing "8766 hours a year" might be too confusing! How about "24 hours a day, 14 days a fortnight, 26.0887285 fortnights a year"?

You are missing my point - doing the math above is pedantic (I am not insulting you, I'm quite pedantic myself, often enough), because the "24/7/365" combo is quite easily understandable, and does need to make additional sense beyond that. Lots of phrases are not quite correct, and exist anyway. Ingolfson 05:51, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I've just thought of something. 24/7 implies that it available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. So doesn't that in itself imply that it is constantly in service, every single day of the year? Unless you go by years, saying one year it's 24/7, the next year it may not be. Which is why it's 24/7 instead of just 24, I guess. Any thoughts?Luet 00:39, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't think so, since 24/7 may often (for non-IT businesses) only cover regular days, that is, not counting holidays (i.e. Christmas). In the IT world, 24/7 is more often connected to 365 days by year availability. DokReggar (talk) 12:08, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

More importantly why is it written "24/7" which equals ≈3.43 ? Mathematically the correct form should be "24×7". Based on how it's pronounced "twentyfour-seven" it should be written "24-7", (unless you actually pronounce it "twentyfour-per-seven", "twentifour-slash-seven", or "twentyfour-devided-by-seven"). ;P Qvasi (talk) 09:46, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

"24-7-365" is redundant, unless you are talking about a period of just under 7 years (365 weeks). If you want to communicate year-round availability, "24-365" suffices. 198.70.193.2 (talk) 20:45, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Notation ?

Is there any authoritative answer on whether the correct notation is 24/7 or 24x7 ? 17:38, 12 September 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.2.238.180 (talk)
