4 minute timers are hard. I normally drop the ‘for’ and it gets super confused. “Set a four minute timer”

You can also say "Set a timer for four minutes".

Fine, you can also say "Set a timer", pause for a hot take, and then say "four minutes" and it's fine. I just tried it and it worked without any issue.

Thank you. I’ll try to add a beat.
