- Here's a sentence. I will be at your house around four o'clock. I will be at your house about four o'clock. Sometimes people say at before that. I will be at your house about, at about four o'clock, or at around, and both mean approximate. Funny enough, they mean approximate, which means not exact. Here's my problem with this.

I'll be at your house. That's an exact location, yeah? Around is approximate, but if I say to you, and I've talked to a couple of people about this, it's quite funny, and I've said, hey, if I say I'll be at your house at around three o'clock, or I'll be at your house around three o'clock, which is more, each person says something different. Well, that one's more exact. And the other one says, no, no, no, the other one's more exact. So, either one is okay. Both means approximate, not exact.
