    • I hear phrases like "half-past", "quarter til", and "quarter after" way less often since digital clocks have became more commonplace.

    Jump

  • Nowadays is easier just to say the precise time down to the minute.

  • In Japan tipping is offensive because it puts the customer above the server

    Saying they don't put the customer above the server in Japan sounds very wrong to me. Servers use highly polite language to customers, while customers generally act in a way that feels very dismissive to me as an American - e.g. yelling to no one in particular when you want service, saying nothing when a server brings food or drinks. This is my experience at least.
