there is no way in hell I will have a conversation with you about this subject of which MY ENTIRE POINT rests on that question as well as the ENTIRE POINT of the article.

without you answering the question,

peroid.

why cant the kids tell time?

Like I said dude, if you have a point then spit it out and stop playing games. If you have any interest in discussing this, then you're free to make your point.

I am not having a conversation with someone who thinks my ENTIRE POINT is a 'strawman' to my ENTIRE POINT.

the qiestion I asked and why I asked it is FAAAAR from being 'a strawman' its the entire REASON the article exists at ALL!

that would be friggin stupid of me.

bye

No, you're not having a conversation with me any more because you're choosing to NOT state your point. See, that's how a discussion works, both sides state their points. If one side refuses to (as you are doing), then there's not really anything to discuss. Maybe they should teach that in schools, huh?

Anyway, I'll be back if you ever decide to stop playing around and actually state your point. Until then, I'm done here.

No, you're not having a conversation with me any more because you're choosing to NOT state your point. ...

I have already stated my point and either A. you are not telling the truth while you pretend to not understand the point or B. you actually missed my point despite it being very clear

either way, yes I am choosing to not engage with a person who falls into either of those two categories so stop replying would be the best

I understand the reasoning. Two people complain and you have to replace every clock in the country. That is how everything is done in UK.

It's wrong though. Because analogue clocks are everywhere, even on a big tower next to the houses of parliament.

Knowing the current government it's probably something to do with Micheal Gove's golf buddy who has a digital clock factory.

I happen to think analogue clocks are easier to read and I honestly don't the the analogue to digital ratio is much different to how it was when I was 15.

Also, analogue clocks are easier to read because they have a white background, almost always with big black hands which mage a distinct shape and also give you a visual representation of the passage of time.

Digital clocks are black ink (or something) on a dark grey background and unless the are backlit are not easy to see. Then if they are not set to 12 hour home I have t counter two numbers back from the hour number to figure out what time it is.

So it's dumb. But they still can't teach programming/coding.
