I've noticed that some younger folks who only know digital clocks tend to think of hours as 100 minutes. I bet they don't understand 90 degree angles, either. (via Bored Panda)

It gets even more complicated when you get Countries mixed up. A ton in the UK is 2240 pounds, a hundredweight is 112 pounds and a quarter is 28. In the US it is 2000, 100, and 25.. Unless you're in Texas, where everything is bigger. I gave up try to explain to someone that six thirty five is the same as 25 minutes to seven, but I couldn't expect to much as she went to University.
