A reminder to everyone about generational differences

[Eyrilona]

Because a person who doesn't know the analog clocks knows the sides of a ship, right?

They'll literally have to if they want to do Omega's starboard/larboard mechanics.

"Generational differences"

If someone asks you the time, and you tell them it's a quarter after 4, they should be able to know you mean 4:15 and not 4:25 because for whatever reason they think "well a quarter is 25 cents right?" Or if you tell them the time is ten to five, they should know that you mean 4:50 and not 10:25 because they think "well you said 10, 2 and 5 in a row right?"

Not giving the time examples above because I've experienced that before. Definitely not.

Either way, there comes an age when you should at least know some genuinely basic terms and what they mean, like clockwise and counter-clock wise in this specific example. Even if you rarely use those terms yourself, it shouldn't be some huge stretch for someone to expect you to know something that you normally should learn about when you're like 7 or 8 years old.

The problem in this situation is that no one was wrong and that's because the different generations approach things differently based on their own experiences.

Could not disagree more, if you dont understand the explanation given by your raidlead then you speak up right there instead of wiping 10 times to the thing you dont understand. Especially when it's a word you dont understand. Pointing at never having used an analog clock because of zoomer is genuinely the lamest excuse ever. Literally just ask.

Considering how many people it confuses, it's a good thing we don't use those terms more often.
