Plus and minus for me. It doesn't matter to me if others use different terms, though, apart from 'by' for 'times': wtf??
Dunno if it's generational, but I was at school in the 1960s and 70s, both in Lancashire and in Essex, if that helps your research!

Re: Bug reports
Over the last couple of weeks, I've have a few games where, in at least one round, the clock has jumped forward, not giving me a chance to enter anything.
I was playing the Guardian today and it happened, but it has occurred with human opponents too.
