Keep; the use in the following seems peculiar to me as a non-native speaker: 'I need twenty minutes to get to the shop." "You'll be late. It's already a quarter of."' In M-W[1] (WT:LEMMING).

No consensus to delete and none likely to emerge. This has been open for almost a year and the "look" template had been applied for a month and a half. Purplebackpack89 14:58, 8 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
