    Quarter “until” makes more sense than quarter to.

      Well it’s language, it’s pretty arbitrary, you say what you learned rather than what makes the most sense

          You’ve pulled back the curtain to reveal horrors beyond my imagination!

            Another member of the “til” gang here!

            I would also completely understand “to”, though, but I just don’t use it.

            Those “quarter of” weirdos can fuck directly off though. That one makes zero sense to me haha.
