The announcer/other on-air personality more often than not tells the
wrong time! Typically the wrong hour. Happpens when either Standard or
Daylight Saving is in effect.

"Mostly clear skies, twenty five degrees at 12 minutes past 5"(it's
6:12 as I'm typing this).

What KIND OF CLOCK do most AM/FM radio stations have on their wall, if
any nowadays?



What really ****s me off is when posters more often than not put an
extra letter in a word. Typically an extra p in 'happens'. Occurs either
in English (USA), English (UK/AUS/NZ/etc).

What kind of spell-checker do they have on their computer, if any
nowadays ?

Or the increasing American habit of putting extra words where they
don't belong. Like adding the word "at" to "where are you". Or
inserting the word "of" into a phrase like "inside the house". It is
caused by ignorance of grammar and word usage. In this case, "inside"
is a preposition. Of course you can say "the inside of the house"
where "inside" is a noun.

I know. Blank looks.

I think you're absolutely correct and it is annoying. You should hear it
in the "south" where I live. Don't get me started on redundancies like
"exact same" or "divide it down" or "separate it out...." I hear that a
lot, and it's like fingers on a chalkboard to me.

Back to topic: WHAT TYPE OF CLOCK, if any, do they have on the studio wall inside radio stations these days?

Difital? Or hands? Hours and minutes? or just minutes?



Maybe this was posted here in error. Should have been in rec.time.announcing
