          “The next hour or so” both accounts for the variance and is more concise than saying “the next hour and forty minutes, give or take”

          But now I want metric time, that sounds nice actually.

            Not that nice, 10 is only divisible by 2 and 5 while 12 is divisible by 2, 3, 4 and 6 and 60 is also divisible by 5, 10 and 12 so there are actually some good reasons to keep time the way it is.
