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.............
