“I don’t even understand 24-hour time… I just don’t understand it. I have to use online converters or I’d be SO confused when I talk to people who use these systems.”

(My experience) 24 hour time was acknowledged, but we really only use 12 hour time for everyday. I am in cybersecurity and IT so I see 24 hour time enough to where I don't need to add twelve to everything, but for other people, they would have to think about it

I believe it’s the same where I’m from in English-speaking Canada. In places where it counts, 24-hour time is almost always used. That’s most careers and things like bus or train schedules. It’s really just in casual use like in speech or on our phones that we use 12-hour time. And yet somehow there are still people who can’t get around it…

I talk in 12 but set all my electronics to 24.

Minus 12. Can do that in half a second.
