I drove (around or about) twenty hours Hi guys, I have a doubt about when use around or about related with time meaning. I´ve read that around is more related with "approximate time" and about with "approximate duration". So attending to this rule i will go for: I drove about twenty hours But I would like to know your opinions, english speakers!!! Thanks in advance.
