In French business culture, arriving 'plus tôt' (5-10 minutes) is seen as a sign of reliability and respect. In Quebec, you might hear 'plus de bonne heure' used interchangeably with 'plus tôt' in casual speech. The distinction between 'plutôt' and 'plus tôt' is a common spelling error even for native speakers in text messages.
