However, I do recall traveling around the New England area, and people have this habit of saying "of" when telling the time to indicate the proximity to the next hour. For example, "twenty of five" means it's 4:40. That's a bit odd to me. =/

It bugs the crap out of me when people talk like that, and every time I hear it, it takes me a few seconds to process just what they mean. It isn't "twenty of five"; it's "twenty 'till five". Man...

Jam it back in, in the dark.
