You just dropped a random number that is not backed by any research, no?
Because most people I know, even en especially older persons, if you say 2 weeks ago, they will look at their calendar and count days to see what day it was exactly.
Let's suppose I tell you: you will have a free concert in 3 weeks. First you will want to know the exact day, then you will still want the correct date because otherwise you don't know if it is in may or in June, Beginning or end of the month,...
- fwlr 3y agoNot backed by research, but the number isn’t random. I based it on the time I was building a site for a company. There was a discussion about relative vs absolute timestamps, so for about a week I was asking people (friends, family, friends’ families, cab drivers, baristas, etc) which they found more useful. I’ll see if I can find the notebook where I tallied up the results because as I recall it was indeed very close to 90%.
