"Within a point"

Post by Hoovie »

WTF does that mean???

get this all the time with sports commentators .... saying things like "Arsenal are now within a point of Chelsea" for example, when Arsenal have 21 points and Chelsea have 22.

Now to my mind, difference between 22 points and 21 points is 1 point, NOT within a point :cussing: Within 2 Points, ok, but not WITHIN a point.

Where does this phrase come from and why do these stupid commentaters and reports keep using it ::b
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?"
She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
