The Time

I just realized that whenever I look at the time people post, its in the 24 hour thing instead of the 12 hour one. Personally, I would rather not work it out to decide what time it is. Maybe have a variety

WF, get used to the only smart way of giving the time, the one way that is unversally understood by all intelligent people in the world...

oops.

not intending to bash the US here..... but why does your military use 24 hours, not 12??????????????

wouldnt that be like having half the population driving on the right, and the others on the left?

There'd be less traffic vacant

I know how to work the 24 time but its a lot easier for me (since I'm like 1 of 2 people on this ladder not in Europe) to read the time I look at 24 hours a day, which is the 12 hour time.

this argument is similar to the miles/vs kilometers thing... so how to the Irish handle it. speed signs in miles per hour.... distance to destination signs in kilometers
