Nowadays, the term "24/7" has become popular, which means "twenty-four by seven." There is another option - "24/7/365".
Also, modern people use the speech phrase "talk 24/7." What is the meaning of these expressions?
Hours and week
It is easy for anyone to guess that the number 24 means the number of hours in a day, and 7 means the days of the week.
It is understood that certain actions or events occur around the clock during the week. So it is customary to describe the work of a modern support service on any selling site.
That is, the work of service departments is ongoing, continuous. For example, call center employees can talk 24/7, which means around-the-clock readiness to serve their customers.
Unfortunately, this is not always true - customer service and support at night is often proclaimed by companies, but not always performed.
Year round
For example, hosting providers practice round-the-clock customer service, there is a term: "24/7/365". This means year-round work of consultants, which is carried out even without national holidays and weekends.
Previously, such a service system was used only in the work of emergency response services (fire, ambulance, emergency services). Now it is especially popular in the business environment of the Internet.
So now you will not be surprised to see an ad on a site like: "We are 24/7, " which means all week, around the clock.
