Question
Hi, there
Can you help me with two questions? Please!
1)
Let us say you and your friends arranged to meet at the front of the movies/theater(movies or theater?) at 2 p.m. and it is already 3 p.m. and they haven't shown up yet. When they finally show up, does it sound odd to say any of the following sentences to them?
"That's (a) total/blatant lack of respect for me" or "That's (a) total/blatant disrespect for me" or " "That's very thoughtless/disrespectful to me"
"That's very rude/inconsiderate to me"
"You are really inconsiderate of me"
"That's bullshit" or "That's pretty lame"?
DOES (or DO?) none of these four sentences work? Thank you very much
2) Do you say "This test must be taken in up to 30 minutes", "This test must be taken in as much as 30 minutes" or "This test must be taken in as many as 30 minutes"? None?
Thank you very much

But does it sound odd to say "That's very disrespectful to me"?
And would it be wrong to say "This test must be completed in as many as/as much as/up to 30 minutes"?
Please.

For 1, I'd say the best ones would be: "That's a total/blatant lack of respect for me", "That's very thoughtless of you / That's very disrespectful to me", "That's bullshit", or "That's pretty lame"
For 2, I'd (personally) phrase it as, "This test must be completed within 30 minutes", or "You have up to 30 minutes to take this test".
I hope this helps.
