    Why change the way you read a clock? year/month/day hour:minute:second

    You would never read a clock as minute:second:hour, which is analagous to how Americans phrase dates.

      Lot of people say “half passed” or “quarter 'til” and optionally include the hour.

      I don’t, but some people do.
