I have spent a lot of time contemplating this very same question….what is the definition of “a while.”
some may use this term and say” ill be back in a while” only to return three minutes or ten minutes later, while others might say “I haven’t seen you in a while” this could be anywhere from a week to ten years, this terminology is rather vague.
Therefore the term “a while” is quite ambiguous and it is extremely difficult to extrapolate what the meaning and true definition is.
I opt to let “sleeping dogs lie so to speak.”
