Oh, this is cute.... telling someone the time in different regions


It's here. Words mattter, and people don't say things the same way, which leads to people knowing you aren't from 'their' neck of the woods. and it gets freaky. I have touched on this on one of my Gamblitz trips. Telling time is pretty odd, depending on where you are.
So... if it is quarter past ten in the morning... and in Europe, they work with the 24 hour clock, so ten in the evening is 22 o'clock... how y0u would say it varies and can cause confusion.

In the light blue, they say 'quarter after ten'.

In the violet, which coincides with my region, you say, ' a quarter to eleven'. (No shit, it messed my mind at first. If it had meant a quarter of an hour on the way to eleven, it would have been rational, hey.)

The green is a quarter (beginning from) ten....

And the orange is a quarter over ten. I just hope they never go UNDER something. For measurements.

'So.... We all get messed up over time, and time zones, and not even people within one country can agree on how we define or answer the question: ''What time is it? Got the time?'

Isn't that irritating.... or something.
