Give them a foot
Portland Mayor Tom Potter is setting up some more of his famed 10-minute meetings with local residents. The e-mail announcing the latest round really caught my eye for the way it abbreviated the time interval:
Event: 10" Community Mtg w/Mayor in Powellhurst/GilbertI couldn't tell if the 10" part referred to the pizza, or what.Pizza Baron, 2604 SE 122nd

It might be a subliminal message to voters about being a strong mayor.

From the announcement on ONI's site:
First-come, first-served or until all 10-minute slots are filled.
Priceless...

I think that 10", 10 inches.
Someone else can take it from there.

Linear inches or geographical seconds (as in when locating something globally (GPS), not minutes which is represented by a single mark, as in '.
So I would assume its a typo.

"So I would assume its a typo."
How can you tell?

Maybe it does mean 10 seconds....the mayor looks at you, and tells you to "shut up" when you try and speak. Meeting over.
