# A Thought provoking question

   17 March 2015   [Lyndsey Faulkner](https://www.ststephenskearsley.co.uk/blog/author/Lyndsey)   [Year 1 Blog](https://www.ststephenskearsley.co.uk/blog/category/year-1-blog)

Julian asked the question "Why does o'clock have that line in the air?"

Did you know that it is because it's an abbreviation of 'of the clock'. We didn't but now we do and so do you!
