Methinks thou art being petty, Peter.
In your view, "time indefinite" is "potentially different" from "indefinite
time," but this appears as a mere quibble to me. A quibble to which you are
entitled, of course, but I respectfully beg to disagree.
It matters not to me if only one group of people in the entire world
translate "olam" as "time indefinite." What should matter to an objective person is
whether or not "time indefinite" is an accurate translation for "olam." All
else is commentary.
However, I do not have "time indefinite" (or "forever") to discuss the
matter with you. You have your take on it, I have mine. I'll leave it at that.

My objection is to the specific phrase and word order "to time
indefinite". I googled this phrase with the quotation marks, and I
accurately stated the results, so please withdraw "Not so" if that
relates to my Google results. "Indefinite time" in the opposite order is
a different phrase with a potentially different meaning, so of course
the results are different.............
