The clock is an hour behind!!
ReplyDeleteIs it? Clock says just after 3 PM there, and that's what every website I've checked says.
DeleteOh dear god NO!! Save the clock!!!
Delete✨⏰✨#cofclockfanclub
It is right now, I was in a cafe in Hamburg, and was definitely an hour behind. All good now, no idea why it showed wrong earlier for me.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. It's possible the clock might have been disoriented after having to adjust to two time zone changes in the last week or two. It's physically in Hamburg but may have left its heart in Helsinki? HAHA. But then it would've been ahead one hour, not behind. Now I'm getting disoriented! Or wait, is it "disorientated"? In the comments for the first show I noticed some people used the term "singles-orientated"...I had never heard of such a thing. Out of curiosity I looked it up. Apparently it is "orientated" in the UK and never "oriented"...but here in the US "oriented" is the norm. It's funny how you can learn something new everyday from COF! Look forward to checking out those scopes once I get home.
DeletePiggy, you make me smile! Investigating 'orientated' vs. 'oriented' is something I'd do. I think we must be kindred spirits! :-)
DeleteHaha.. it was actually not the first time I had heard of orientated despite the comment above. I had come across it before and had a feeling it had to do with British vs. American English and seeing it again in the comments was the impetus for googling it to confirm. I also noticed Brits say "different to" as opposed to "different from"...the former just sounds strange to my ears but it's probably just a matter of culture/custom. Also "at the weekend" vs. "on/over the weekend." Ironically enough I learned about some of these subtle differences from Hong Kongers/ Singaporeans and others from former British colonies. An entire book can probably be written on this topic ��
DeleteAgreed, but for precision's sake, I often consult a reference or several! My dearest friend, born in Cornwall, now living in Somerset, and I have had many chuckles over the variations between her English and my Yank one. One of my faves is when her daughter was talking about going to the mall, something that an American would appreciate, she said; but she pronounced mall like pal, and I couldn't figure out what the hell she meant! It took me a few seconds to comprehend that she meant my mall like all! :-D
DeleteI now find myself using several very English phrases in conversations with people on my side of the pond. It's become second nature after years and years of close contact with a beloved Brit! LOL
Yes, very good point..always a good idea to cross-reference with the locals who know firsthand! This could also help avoid embarrassing gaffes since they know the subtleties of usage. I like your story about the mall. Not only is the word usage different but the regional variations in pronunciation only compounds the situation. Anything non-RP might be a challenge. Place names are a definite challenge since it's not always pronounced the way it's spelled (i.e., anything ending in -wich or -ham ). It's almost like trying to decipher a foreign langage...LOL!!
DeleteGoing to be a dark one...
ReplyDeleteSounding great on Periscope! Can't wait for tomorrow....
ReplyDeleteRobert sounds great. band is awesome. I hope they get their sleep and take their vitamins so they can keep this up for the tour. It is a grueling tour schedule, I don't know how they do it night after night. Take care of yourself Bob!!
ReplyDeleteA forest was EPIC!
