When you say "quarter past eight", seconds are not important. But when you express a measure, the concept of error is important. Unless explicitly expressed, the error in a measure is "plus or minus" a given symmetric range. > If bodrato still thinks then code should not be changed, then please > feel free to close my bug report; it's not a big issue, and in all > other respects I'm very impressed with flite. Thanks. I just think that the current behaviour was not a bug, but was deliberately intended. Moreover, in my opinion, it is correct. A good compromise can be to mention it on the man page, so that surprised users can find it explained. The command: flite_time $(date +%H:%M) will say "exactly" during both the full minute before and the full minute after the "exact" time.
