minus-squarechiliedogg@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 days agoStill better than quarter of. What time is a “Quarter of 10”? I could see it as 10:15, 9:45, 9:15, or 2:30. It’s stupid, and anybody who uses it is wrong.
minus-squarewieson@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 day agoThe tenth hour of the day goes from 9:00 to 10:00. So quarter of ten is 9:15. I don’t know how one would explain the other possibilities, but this is the correct answer. Imagine it as a glass of water that gets filled for each hour. Once it is full, the hour has been reached.
