Yes, I've seen that before. I was teaching someone to read an analogue clock recently, which I haven't really done before, and thinking back to being taught to tell the time myself with "and the little hand points at the 2..." type stuff, and thought 'but it doesn't unless the big hand is exactly on the 12!
I ended up talking about the little hand sweeping out the time over 12 hours, and then the big hand being there to give a more accurate idea of the actual minutes.
It's weird, because my memory of being taught how to tell the time is largely but not quite entirely gibberish. I'm not sure how I managed to figure it out in the end.
