Reading the time
Added 2023-01-19 15:20:02 +0000 UTCI actually can't read them, and I literally do this sometimes when I'm in a situation with no access to digital clocks and need a rough estimate of how much time there is left, or how much time has already passed. I have no idea why or how I didn't learn it, I learned to read on my own when I was 5. I was just suddenly 10 years old and people were shocked to discover that someone my age couldn't read a clock face yet.

It's a very interesting thing. I can read analogue fine, but there are days when it's strangely enough more difficult than I'd think it could be. So it's possible for people who *can* read analogue to struggle with it some days. For me, it's particularly when I have to remember what the correct phrasing is, compared to saying "4:34". Maybe it's because most of how we reference and compare time nowadays are digital?

2023-01-20 19:55:22 +0000 UTCI understand not knowing exact minutes all that easily, but the hour litterally points to the hour. If the little one points to about 6, its about 6. In case it's a matter of switching the big and little hand, I think of it as a big gear goes fast and a small gear goes slow. Minutes go fast, hours go slow.
