02br 00'Round' alone doesn't make any sense to me here. 'Time round' does. Use 'round' only if such an event clearly and frequently recurs.

00So, when I say 'I am serious this time round', it means that whatever I am doing has happened a lot of times but this is the first time I am doing it seriously, right?02br
