What about other languages?

'Video effects designers who work with C++ code have a new unit of time to work with called a "flick."

'Short for "frame-tick" if you're willing to overlook the absence of the letter "l" from either word, a flick lasts 1/705,600,000 of a second.'

So would those working in C use 1/705,600,000-1 of a second? Lua people would use 1+1/705,600,000, coz that's 1 based rather than 0 based like C and C++. Python people prefer significant white space, but I'm no Python person, so I have no idea where they would put that, 1 / 705 600 000 perhaps?

There are 97 other languages on my resume, but I can't be arsed to go through them right now.
