I don't know when things went wrong...

but some where along the line

you people got it all wrong.

And it's been wrong ever since.


But when a person ask the question..

"What time is it?"

They are not asking
what time is it...

they are asking

for you
to look
at your clock
and read to them
what the clock reads.


They are really asking...

"What clock is it?" or

"What o'clock is it?"

If you want to know
what time it is...
(even though you're really
asking What o'clock is it)

you look at a clock.

You don't find out
what time it is...
you find out
what o'clock it is.


"What clock is it?"

It's 12 o'clock.


If you ask "What time is it?"

you going to get the same answer..

It's 12 o'clock.

"What o'clock is it?"


-- 
The Starmaker -- To question the unquestionable, ask the unaskable,
 to think the unthinkable, mention the unmentionable, say the unsayable,
and challenge
 the unchallengeable.
