Would you trust the measurement of your IQ to a person who says something like, "If a chicken and a half ..." *Arches eyebrow* "A chicken and a half? ... And you want to measure my IQ?"
Do you get equally baffled by such statements as, "the cat catches 1.2 mice per hour"?

I do not admit to being baffled.
You will have to concede, though, it would make more sense to say, "... the cat leaves 1.2 mice per hour."
