The Language of Time

Right from the minute we greet people we start talking about time. In English we use numbers and words and then add other words to explain time. What has "On the dot� got to do with time? Where did we get the Oclock from, especially now that we have digital watches. Migrants refer to "Asian time" and "Island time� to talk about certain habits. There is so much to learn about time and now's the time to listen to this 30 minute / half hour lesson.
