Some example of the use of "shallow" in the horizontal dimension would lend some credibility to the statement that it can be used in this context. Surely "shallow" is exclusively used in reference to the negative vertical dimension.
- We don’t put examples of shallow on the page for short, but an example of horizontal shallow could be a shallow dent in the door of my car. Not necessarily a small dent, since it could have a large circumference, but it might be shallow regardless of size. —Stephen 22:07, 9 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
The definition doesn't make sense, because minutes are always of the same duration (for countable units of time); furthermore, we can find a short time ago. --Backinstadiums (talk) 17:30, 19 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
- @Backinstadiums Six minutes is always a short time, so it's correct to call it short. That doesn't mean it's shorter than any other six minutes. Equinox ◑ 16:01, 15 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
