Re: when I say power, I mean her BELLY BUTTON

"Most of the time" vs. "Most of time":
I leart from somewhere that in the latter, "time" is generally referred to while the former "the time" refers to a particular time. I am not sure.
Here's a Chinese page answering the difference between them. I am not sure the answers are correct. Would anyone who knows Chinese explain it? According to
emsr2d2, they are questionable.
most of the time和most of time有什么区别

I am surprised that emsr2d2 said that the use of most of time was questionable. It's wrong.

What has this to do with navels?

I don't know how to understand you here. I used "most of time" and emsr2d2 edited it into "most of the time" - that is why I wrote "According to emsr2d2, they (the use of "most of time") are questionable." So emsr2d2 didn't say but has edited it.

I didn't say it was questionable. I added "the" because it's required.
