Title: Why We Say “O’Clock”
Post by: meoramri on November 10, 2014, 12:27:01 PM
"The practice of saying "o'clock" is simply a remnant of simpler times when clocks weren't very prevalent and people told time by a variety of means, depending on where they were and what references were available." - article by GIZMODO

Doesn't it depend? I mean at times when the person asks I'll just go "it's six" without o'clock. Then again being formal probably means saying it with o'clock
