Epilepsiavieroitus@lemmy.worldtoShowerthoughts@lemmy.world•I hear phrases like "half-past", "quarter til", and "quarter after" way less often since digital clocks have became more commonplace.

8 months agoThat doesn’t make sense to me. It would be a quarter to 14 if you wanted to say 14 instead of 2.
But 14:00 is what the time is and what the clock shows, not 1400. So I would say 14 o’clock if not 2 o’clock. Would you say “it’s nine hundred in the morning” too? Again, it’s hours not hundreds. I’m sorry but I don’t understand why you’re talking about years.
For context my country uses 24h time and I grew up with it.
