Metric time, in the middle of a Worldcon, when everyone's sense of time has gone off to Elf Hill?
Suddenly I mind less that I can't afford to go to Worldcon.
Yes, it's a dot, not a colon. When did the British stop using 10.5 to mean five minutes after ten? (I know that one from Dorothy Sayers, novels written in the 1930s.)
