Comment on I hear phrases like "half-past", "quarter til", and "quarter after" way less often since digital clocks have became more commonplace.

  In real life though, when the clock reads 15:00, how do you vocally express that?

      Interesting.

      I know people who prefer 24 hour clocks but use am/pm when expressing vocally.

        I mean, if someone is asking me the time, I’ll tell them 3 o’clock.

        but you asked how i vocally express 15:00. Not how I would tell it to an average person :p

        I’m not so up my ass that I think everyone uses 24 hour clocks, afterall lol
