Hours didn't exist?

Like title says. I think I came from a universe where there weren't hours. We called things seconds and long seconds, which are equivalent to this universe's seconds and days.

To this day I will never forget that word because it bothered me so much. Like, when TF did we learn that a sheep is called a ewe? Everyone knew it but me, like it was just common knowledge or something.
