GTV differences & telling time

[Frank <fca@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oh.

When I first came to America it was the hardest thing figuring out what
they meant when they say something like "...the time is ten off two."  Does
that mean ten minutes before two or ten minutes past two?!  'Off' always
sounded like 'past' to me.

Sorry, Brian.
