On a recent hike, there was a sign that said our campsite was 1/4 mile away. I had noticed just a day before that the kids today read that differently than I do, so I did a little experiment and asked everyone going by what the sign said.
All the dads told me the campsite was a quarter mile away.
All the boys told me it was one fourth of a mile away.
I thought that was interesting, and I still do.
