    I’m not sure if this meme is doubly trolling me here, but please tell me nobody says “a quarter til ten” instead of “quarter to ten”!

    You probably grew up in the era of digital clocks and watches. If you used an analog watch you would know why it was easier to say a quarter to 10. 😁

      To make me show up 30 minutes late because I misheard it as quarter past 10?

      Way easier to just say and understand 9:45 with whatever clock you use.
