We call the thing you measure time with a 'clock'. It is implied (in physics) when we talk about a general 'clock' that it is a correctly working 'clock' .. ie that it correctly measures (or marks) the time at its own location in its own rest frame. so if a duration dt of time at a location has elapsed, then a clock at that location will show a duration of exactly dt as well. This is very very simple and basic stuff.

Uh huh. So what about the marks on S and S'? They are not a clock any more? That did not last long.

You havea great deal of trouble reading and understanding .. that explains a lot. However .. on the subject of such marks .. marks alone are not a clock (they are a ruler) .. you would also need something moving past those marks at a known rate, from that you can calculate the time. If you have correctly measured distances between the marks (ie measured from a mutually-at-rest observer .. ie the marks are not moving wrt the observer) and have correctly measured the speed of the moving object, then clock will work and be correct. This does NOT change the fact the galilean transforms are proven incorrect by experiments that show correctly working clocks do NOT show the same time when those clocks are in relative motion.
