All about UTC, GMT, and Zulu time at URL:
http://www.aros.net/~yogi/zulutime.htm Well after travelling and living across the USA, quarter of 10 (15 min before 10), quarter to (15 min before the hour), and quarter after (15 min after the hour), quarter past (15 min after the hour) are used everwhere I have been. -- The Anon Keyboard I doubt, therefore I might be "uncle arnie" wrote in message ... I've never heard this before. What does "quarter of 10" mean? Is this before 10 or after 10? I thought it was my hearing until this was repeated. "quarter to" and "quarter after", rarely "quarter past" are all usual ways of saying this around here. Though digital clocks make it "ten fifteen". I think this must be a regionalism or slang for somewhere in the USA (?). I also hear "zulu" said instead of UTC (or the old GMT). |
