	In response to Caraamon's edit: "sorry the word minute doesn't exist in Elanthia. Take it up with the GMs if ya hate it :P"		In response to Caraamon's edit: "sorry the word minute doesn't exist in Elanthia. Take it up with the GMs if ya hate it :P"<br>

	The word "minute" arguably exists in Elanthia. Several NPCs use it. (This is apart from systems that clearly use OOC time.) There also several books, a Bardic recall, and at least one spell that refer to "minutes." If the GMs regard the word "minute" as OOC, they should remove all IC references to it.
