Usage
"Eighteen seconds" can be used in three different ways.

2. The phrase can be used to describe something that just happened:
 * Ex.: Dude, you just said eighteen seconds ago that you already bought the beer.

3. The phrase can be used after the number "three" to describe a slightly extended event:

Alternate Usages
The phrase "eighteen seconds" can be modified to describe longer periods of time, although this is much more infrequent. If bsd987 needs to use the bathroom or read a chapter of something for homework, he may say, "give me eighteen minutes." However, he typically does not quantitate such things.

A more frequent use is "eighteen days", but since bsd987 usually remembers days accurately, he tends to correctly quantify. The phrase "eighteen days" is usually preceded by the word "like":


 * That was like eighteen days ago that you handed out that worksheet; there is no way I still have it!
