24x7 means every hour of the week, as in "24 by 7". 24x365 means every hour of the year. (modulo those with 366 days but please let's not go there because this is bad enough) (oh wait, too late, someone upthread already went there) (and then leap seconds reared their ugly head, oh good grief) 24x7x365 thus means every hour of 7 years. YES, I know, I know.
If we're gonna do this, let's at least inform the discussion with a few citations: https://www.lawinsider.com/dictionary/24x7x365 https://www.macmillandictionary.com/us/buzzword/entries/24-7-365.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24/7_service Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin bill () herrin us https://bill.herrin.us/
