Like 5.15 - Quarter past five.
5.45 - Quarter to 6

So many different ways-
In the US heard 6.40pm call 40 minutes past 6, in the UK its 20 to 7.

I bet you never lived near a church, church bells 20m from your window means no staying on bed late on Sundays...

In Dutch it would be "ten over half seven"

You'll have to excuse Nilsen.

It's eleventeen seventy two o'clock in the evening over there, so he'll be a little out of sorts.

hmmm most of us americans always associate 24 hr clock format with the military...

(drill sargeant: supper starts at twenty-thirty!)

Overlag · « **Reply #24 on:** June 14, 2005, 02:59:14 PM »

i think we use 24hour clock because europe is so used to being at war with each other theres no point switching it back..........

i prefer 24hour clock myself so whenever i have the option to use 24hour (ie on phone or pc) i do so

saying that i do SAY it in a 12hour clock way.

You completely ruined this for me morph. Here I am, on a lonely day at the office, flipping through the boards and I see this blatant mispelling, and while the link is opening I'm thinking of approx. 10 or more ways to respond and make light of this error in a funny way, and look what you did!!! You completely ruined it by being the first person to post and calling anyone who corrects him a tard. Now I have to save my snappy comebacks for another thread with an obvious mispelling.

SHAME!!!!

Vhat ? spellinge is quitte corect
lok at my sig !

Fot the reccord the military thing give some strange result in French :
19:15 supposed to be said either
dix neuf heure quinze
or
sept heure et quart

But it's frequent to have mix à la :
dix neuf heure et quart
or
sept heure quinze

I would hate having to learn french

IN Canada we have too many time zones to make sense of, including some places that don't use Daylight Savings Time.

Its much easyer with saying them time is 19.43 than mixing it up with morning or day with pm/am 7.43.
the time is clock clear its is either 7.43 or 19.43

no need to think at all. hehe.
