You say that like it's a bad thing...A lot of big, fancy wordsmithing there. Sounds a lot like you are trying to get me to switch to the Metric System or something.

Yes, I've seen Flight of the Conchords (in concert as well, but I mean the TV show), so I'm aware of the perfidy and oppression of the Aussies toward your people.
I agree with the consensus that "arrived at" (or sometimes on or in) is correct, and not "arrived to". I would expect that "arrived to" is the result of a non-native speaker whose native language does use the equivalent of "arrived to" – Swedish, for example, would use "anlände till" which becomes "arrived to" when translated word for word.

Quarter of two or a quarter to two? I think I use them both.

Two different things: quarter of is 2:15, quarter to is 1:45
