minutes and seconds...
1'34" = 1 minute and 34 seconds. don't think i have it the wrong way around do i?
I was reading those as the feet and inches symbols; I've never seen anyone use them to indicate minutes and seconds.
i got told by my personal tutor to write it like that for my dissertation while at uni. i had to put in so many time references that it's just become 2nd nature to me now
