lubridate::ms("9.2", "9.20", "9.02")
[1] "9M 2S" "9M 20S" "9M 2S"
I am puzzled to see that 9.2 is treated the same as 9.02.
My expection would be that 9.2 is interpreted as 9M 20S.
How can i get 9.2 treated as 9 minutes and 20 seconds?
Many thanks.

Many thanks. Just out of curiosity, would it be fair to call lubridate's behavior a bug? Or is the user simply expected to know about this?
It is expected behavior. The documentation states "recognizes all non-numeric characters except '-' as separators". So it is splitting the first entry into 9 and 2, the second as 9 and 20, and the last as 9 and 2.
