The challenge of idioms is to confront the relationship of locale to the habits of interpretation, aka, semiosis. No sign fits all. :-) len From: John Cowan [mailto:jcowan@r...] This was actually a booby trap: the style 12.15 (for a time) is perfectly common in the U.K., maybe even standard. But it means 15 minutes after 12, not 12.15 hours after midnight.
