I don’t like it when someone says that “the clock is two minutes fast” or “the clock is two minutes slow.” What they mean to say is that the clock is two minutes ahead, or two minutes behind. Rarely do we have a fast or slow clock, and even if we do I’d need specification: is the clock two minutes too slow per hour or two minutes too slow per day?
