The big hand is on the 3 and the little hand is on the 10. What time is it? Well we could say it's "ten fifteen". We could also say that it is "quarter after 10". Why can't we say "ten and a quarter" or "fifteen after 10"?

Why is "quarter after seven" okay but "three quarters to eight" is wrong? "Twenty after three" is just peachy but heaven forbid you should say "forty to four".

And why is it just fine and dandy to say that it's "half past twelve" but people look at you funny if you say "half til one".

Frankly I'm sick of it and I'm not going to take it any more. Free your mind and your ass will follow! Join me in rebellion against these outdated and nonsensical clock mores!

What time is it?

I said WHAT TIME IS IT?

It's fourty three to two!

YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAARRGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!
