a twenty to (see below for clarification) Explanation: My understanding is that you want to say twenty to but mentioning the quarter to. Here if it is 1 or 2 mins before quarter to I'd say "it's two minutes to quarter to". But to be honest if it was five minutes to quarter to I'd just say it's twenty to. Hope that makes sense. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 mins (2006-01-26 17:40:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You just wouldn't say it's five minutes to quarter to |
