@KRyan Where are you from? Five to nine would be a very common way to speak the time where I live...

I have to disagree with this, as a native European English speaker, I would say "24 to 10" but would usually round , so just "25 to 10"

@mplungjan actually, yes it is... it's the past imperfect form.

@stangdon you are right, I meant present infinitive>?

@Lambie Who cares? Are you living in the middle ages? If you have the misfortune of having to speak to one of those pieces of crap just address them like you would anyone else.

@J.R.actually it is "the point", as in, my viewpoint :) It is always a good idea to help people in multiple ways, not just answer their question and ignore a glaring error. Agree about the dash though, although both are "correct" grammatically.
