    I still maintain the correct version if the saying is a “stopped” clock. A clock can be broken in other ways that make it almost never right.

    Also I’m not sure analog clocks should be considered “regular” at this point. If seems like they’re mostly decorative items now, and most actual timekeeping is done with clocks in phones and computers.

      i said regular as a qualifier because i was expecting someone to point out niche clocks like a 24-hour one or whatever. plus if we’re talking digital clocks the saying falls apart anyway because most of them would just not show anything rather than getting stuck on one time.

      I have an analog clock in my man cave. Its very steam punk in design. It is NOT accurate and is ONLY a decoration piece that gets corrected when I can spare the attention. It runs fast, if anyone cares.

      Ultimately, my wife liked it, bought it for me, and put it up. Not gonna upset her over something I really don’t care about.
