another dumb question

[Spherical Ice]

How do you say the time, analogue or digital?

 

[Charizard★]

I say it digital styled. Its much easier ;D

 

[mishy.]

I tend to say both, actually. Sometimes I would say 'It's five before 6:30pm' while other times I would say '6:25pm'. I guess it just all depends on what I end up thinking about before saying it? I'm not too sure.

 

[Maraala]

Sammy does digital, as it's easier to say and understand

 

[Eliminator Jr.]

I usually say the time digitally. I don't know why. It's just more specific to say "six fifty-three" rather than round it off and say analoguely "five to seven". I may sometimes use "quarter-to-five", but I'll always say "twelve thirty" as opposed to "half past twelve".

 

[Garouga! Bare Your Fangs!]

I say it digitally, although my girlfriend got me hooked on saying thirty-minute marks as "half [hour]".

 

[PlatinumDude]

I say time in both the analogue and the digital way. The one I choose at the moment depends on convenience.

 

[mikey]

I say it in both forms also~

 

[Chord]

Both. Depends on my mood at the moment and who I'm speaking to

 

[Belinda]

For me I've always been the digital kind of person, just used to it that way, and as others are saying it's much easier than analogue itself. I may, however, say it analogue if I just don't know what to say at random moments and I'm somewhat bored.

 

[Eucliffe]

Both for me.

Though what really gets people is if I say it in military time (1:30 PM = 13:30, etc.). It even gets me confused sometimes, but I prefer military time to standard time.

bah analogue takes too much thinking, i'd be sitting there for about 6 seconds trying to math out the time. then i'd finally say it, realize i got it wrong, then take about 16 more seconds redoing math and correcting myself thus totally 'killing the mood/'

 

[Zeffy]

Digital is the way.
Its easier and much more convenient for me.

 

[Melody]

Digital style all the way. It annoys me when people use analog style though. >_>

 

[Daydream]

I only use analogue. I dunno if that's a British thing? But yeah I've always said 'five to,' 'ten past' etc. It's just normal, for me, I guess.

 

[Zebeedoo]

Online, I'd say it digitally. It's much quicker and it takes too much effort for me to type it out as analogue. D:

Offline, I'd say it as Daydream would do.

 

[Captain Fabio]

I use both in different situations.

 

[Rogue planet]

I only use analogue. I dunno if that's a British thing? But yeah I've always said 'five to,' 'ten past' etc. It's just normal, for me, I guess.

I think it is. I rarely hear people say the time in "digital style" I'd probably think it was weird if I heard somebody say it that way.

In case you didn't guess, I say the time in "analogue style" it's just the way I've always known it to be done.

 

[Dawn]

I say it digitally. It's just more efficient to me.

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

I tend toward saying it digitally but my parents say it the analog-style so sometimes I'll use that at home. But digitally seems to roll easier off the tongue for me.
