The Official "Things I Really Want" Thread May 11, 2006
Guidelines:

Just put a picture of the item (it can be anything) you want, with a short description of what it is and why you want it.

I'll start.

Frank Gehry Positive/Negative WatchStyle | Watches |
Frank Gehry is certainly best known for his eye-popping arcetectural desings, but his Positive/Negative Watch by Fossil ($150) may start a revolution in lazy time telling. The watch happily tells you that it's half past eleven or eight til twelve — which is fine by us, and even better for anyone who uses the phrase "beer thirty."

Not really.

Perhaps if it said "8 'til 12" you would be happier?

Or perhaps "The current time is eight minutes until twelve."

There's no 'until' at all! It's 8 minutes TO 12!

It's like saying 5 and 20 past 8!

Of course there is an until It is quite OK to say, it will be 8 minutes until 12. One can also say 8 minutes TO 12, but in actual fact, I think the UNTIL is more gramatically correct.

It's not. I can only assume it's an Americanism - sigh.
