Example #1
Me, on Facebook: “the shanghai maglev train can “fly” at superfast speeds of up to 450km/h. “up to” being the operative word, according to Han Bing Yuan’s experience: the train attains this peak and, after one second, decelerates.”
Bing Yuan, commenting: “Hey! I read my travel log wrongly lah. It hits a top speed of 430km/h (might have changed since) and cruises at that speed for less than a minute. NOT ONE SECOND LOL.”
Me: “technically, less than a minute can still mean one second 
.”
Example #2
You’re so absorbed in writing every day that by the time you get home, words can’t flow properly through your head anymore to blog.
