Fraser Fyvie Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 What's wrong with quarter of an hour? Half an hour a problem too? Nah, half an hours fine. How far should we go? Maybe we should start saying a twelfth of an hour for 5 minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quarters and halves aren't just run of the mill fractions. Q-final as an example. I've just never imagined that anyone would take issue with this (even as pttgoyn). Each to their own though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Ooft. Didn't you boys have a big lead just a wee while ago? Yes. Our entire back 4 decided to get injured though and we've shitfested our way to 3 draws and a defeat in the last 4 games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

die hard doonhamer Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 You don't say 15 mins to 4, you say quarter to, therefor quarter of an hour is acceptable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 You don't say 15 mins to 4, you say quarter to, therefor quarter of an hour is acceptable. This. Otherwise my PTTGOYN would be people saying that it's 15 to 4 when it's actually 13 to 4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraser Fyvie Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 You don't say 15 mins to 4, you say quarter to, therefor quarter of an hour is acceptable. Not the same thing though. If saying "a quarter of an hour" was shorter than saying "fifteen minutes" (like "quarter to four" is shorter than saying "fifteen minutes to four" then I could understand. It's actually 3 syllables longer though. There is absolutely no need for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweaty Morph Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 So should the former Channel 4 daytime quiz show been called Quarter to 1? I'm so confused. (and still a wee bit drunk I think) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
