minus-squaresmeg@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15arrow-down1·2 years agoI’m not sure if this meme is doubly trolling me here, but please tell me nobody says “a quarter til ten” instead of “quarter to ten”!
minus-squaremiss_brainfart@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoIn german you’d just say quarter ten, half ten and three quarters ten for 9:15, 9:30 and 9:45 respectively
minus-squaremiss_brainfart@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 years agoThough not every region in Germany will do that, some think it’s stupid, but it makes sense to me. Quarter ten for example means a quarter of the tenth hour is over, so 9:15. There’s good logic behind it, at least
minus-squarecrimroy@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·2 years agoI would say “quarter of” 10. So there.
minus-squareThe Picard Maneuver@startrek.websiteOPMlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 years agoIsn’t ‘quarter of’ 10:15? (I always use “quarter to” or “quarter til”, but never “quarter of”)
minus-squareguriinii@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 years agoFirst time I’m hearing of it also. Like “cowboy time” doesn’t work if its “til”
