CAN BE EXPLAINED IN A SIMPLE MANNER: 1. WATCH - A TIMEPIECE TO MEASURE TIME THAT YOU CAN WATCH ANY TIME AND THAT IS WORN IN THE BODY- eg. WRISTWATCH, RINGWATCH, POCKETWATCH, PENDANTWATCH. 2. CLOCK - AN INSTRUMENT TO MEASURE TIME WITH A BELL(ORIGIN) OF WORD. OPPOSITE TO WATCH WHICH IS NOT WORN AND USUALLY YOU WILL JUST STARE TO READ TIME. 3. TO PROPERLY READ TIME BETWEEN THE 2 TIMEPIECES FOR EXAMPLE ITS 8 A.M. NOW - HERE'S HOW A. USING A WATCH THE PROPER READING SHOULD BE - 8 O' WATCH B. USING A CLOCK THE PROPER READING SHOULD BE - 8 O' CLOCKIS THIS A GOOD LOGIC OR A GOOD JOKE?
