"5:5" means loud and clear, that is well-known jargon alright, which we can all agree upon.
"0:55" is another matter entirely.
My point is it doesn't make any sense to arbitrarily drop a zero then push the : sign forward just because it fits nicely and conveniently with a timecode.
5:5 really is "loud and clear", whereas 0:55 really is just an arbitrary and random time mark.
It can't. That's my point, friend. That "5:5" isn't related to "0:55" in any way shape or form, other than it looking aesthetically similar. It's an arbitrary connection. It's like saying a power outlet symbolizes a pig's nose - it doesn't, they just look similar.
...Yeah, but none of which relate to 5:5 ...right? This is my point.
".5" means "0.5" and that's one thing (common notation custom), but "5:5" doesn't relate to "0:55" in any way - it's arbitrary. This is a free for all, like when you don't know the answer to a math question and then you just shoot for / guess the number that looks the closest one to what your calculations gave you: "Mmm I got 12 but the possible answers are 10, 20, 22, and 32 so I guess I'll mark 10."... It's arbitrary, taking a random guess.

It can mean both and in this case would make sense.
The storm is upon Loud and clear.

Not necessarily convinced by this comm, but you generally drop a 0 before another number.
0.5 becomes .5, 0:55 becomes 55.
