Today, I asked my daughter what time it was. She stared at the clock for several seconds before muttering, "I don't know". She's 14 years old and on the honour roll, and yet she can't tell the time on an analogue clock. FML

I know college kids who can't read a regular clock. It scares me that these people are the future of this world.

How will this child compete in a global economy lacking basic skills?

But analog watches make you look awesome. What someone thinks when he/she sees a person with an analog watch: Wow, he's probably a respectable human being that I would love to acquaint myself with. What someone thinks when he/she sees a person with a digital watch: Looks like some kid just got out of school. Or maybe it's just some stoner. Who knows?

You were right the first time. Standard British English spells "analogue" and the OP is Canadian, which people tend to stay faithful to the real version.

How about everybody stops acting like 2 year olds and just let it go. So the girl wasn't able to read the clock.. Nobody is perfect. Learn from your mistakes. End of story.
