I heard the expression: in...time and I wonder, if I use/understand it correctly. Can you please check my sentences? 'How old is he (referring to a cat) in human time?; How long is one year in Jupiter time?; Situation: 2 guys are working in Apple's cybersecurity department. One of them was on call. Somebody - some hacker group, managed to take their official site down, so nobody can order anything and that's why Apple's loosing a lot of money. The on-call guy called another guy and told him to come to work. And conversation begins: A: What took you so long? B:-Calm down, it's only been an hour A: Only an hour? Oh, man. It's only been an hour for you. 'In Apple time' it's like 2 mil. in revenue.' If I use and understand it correctly, can you please define this expression, as I couldn't find an accurate definition (I need it to write down, so I could memorize it faster.). Thanks very much for your help!
