Why is the saying “24/7/365”?
It is meant to show that something is continuous, all the time, and never stopping. It gets the point across to the listener, but upon further analysis, I found some problems. Translated into plain English, the saying would be something like “Every hour of the day, every day of the week, every week of the year.” But that would be “24/7/52” since there are 52 weeks in a year. For those who are wondering: 365 weeks is a little over 49 years.
You could say that it means “Every hour of the day, every day of the week, every day of the year.” But that would be redundant (if it is every day of the week, then it would already imply every day of the year) and inconsistent (the progression is from smallest to largest – repeating the unit of day ruins the progression). Why not just say “Every hour of the day, every day of the year”? So an alternate to “24/7/365” could be “24/365” instead of “24/7/52”. Neither one of the alternates has the same ring to it, but I think such ring is acquired by repeated use.
