# I could accept 'about 95' or 'about 90'.
'about 96' suggests accuracy to the nearest 1 to me.

# But what about the seconds?
"About 96" beacause it's 96 and some seconds.(Or in this case 94 and some seconds.)

# Seconds aren't mentioned,
so I assume we're working to accuracy of the nearest minute

# Not in this case
But look at the back of any dvd and look at the running time.
"Approx "such and such" minutes"
Because the seconds aren't counted, If they were it would be:
Running time "Such and such minutes, such and such seconds"

I fancied getting outside into the sun for a bit.
