Clock(:) time style; and Tho & Thru We use Clock Form for dates. Clock Form uses colons, to count down from largest to smallest, Pushing the largest to smallest in Clock Form is similar to helping 1st graders see the largest to smallest in our base 10 number system, and to recognize the irregularities, Like the teens, in our number system.

And the irregularity confuses kids, unless we clarify that it is irregular. So too, when you look at your bank balance:
Many cultures, even western cultures, use different forms for date and time. Clock Form's lovely logic is a convention we are proud to help popularize, or at least make familiar.
