Wait, don't you mean 0.333333333333333333...? :-)

Apparently leisure is a word of French origin for a reason. Of course that presumably makes their fractions 1/3 sleep, 7/24 work, and 3/8 leisure. Sacre bleu!

Total tangent, an old friend of mine knows a bit of French, and has recently been trying to learn Russian. He described French to me as, "A language that leaves native English speakers desperately searching for consonant sounds that aren't there," and Russian as, "A language that leaves native English speakers desperately searching for vowel sounds that aren't there." Don't know if that's an original line of his or someone else he is quoting, but it made me chuckle none the less.

Just another Perl hooker - Yes, I'll do really dirty code, but I charge extra.
