Arduino RGB Matrix Word Clock

Forget numbers, the RGB LED Word Clock displays the time as text! Instead of two hands or a digital display, the Word Clock shows the current time as words in bright LED light using a standard 8x8 LED matrix. For example, if the time were 10:50 the LED clock would say IT IS TEN MINUTES TO ELEVEN. At 10:30 it would say IT IS HALF PAST TEN.
