[quote=Anonymous]My 17yo learned the rudiments in ES, and we worked on it at home. But I think if I hadn’t deliberately bought her an analog alarm clock and an analog watch in late ES, it’s likely she’d have lost the skill by now. She still wears an analog watch, and keeps a cool retro-looking analog clock in her room. But the other day, we needed to leave at three o’clock; when she asked me “What time is it now?”, I replied that it was “quarter ‘til.” Not sure how she’d never heard that phrase before, but she looked at me like I was speaking Klingon. “Quarter what? Huh?” Of course, she’s a teenager, so it’s entirely possible she knew exactly what I meant, and was just gently mocking her Gen X mom and her ancient ways. But now I’m second-guessing myself—I thought this was a thing everyone said? You know, “quarter to/‘til,” “quarter after” the hour. Or maybe it’s just a Southern thing, so it’s less common here?
