IMHO everyone here perfectly understand common (and intended) meaning of
24/7/365. While is formally inaccurate, it's still clear.
The rest is as worth to discuss as USS=Unix System Services.
Maybe there is "official IBM meaning* of 24/7/365 or "the only proper
description of continuous availability" ? <vbg>

And the general public, many Dilbertian managers, and even some of us
professional nitpickers, think that a job running 1 hour instead of 10 is 900%
faster, and that 1 is 10 times smaller than 10. 2+2 no longer = 5; now it
equals chartreuse.
Fortunately architects and engineers know how to use mathematically accurate
and precise terminology when describing the bridges they design and build, or
we would have a lot more cars falling off of collapsing bridges.

I'm the last to see my own errors. Hopefully it was obvious I meant
24/7/365
That's no better. Either 24/7/52 or 24/365 would be approximately
correct.
On a logical basis I agree with you but has the 24/7/365 shortcut for
continuous availability become so pervasive that it is the shorthand way for
saying it and is it the way that the general public as opposed to us
professional nitpickers best understands it?
