So you just like everything wrong

12 hr, because I assume when I ask, "What are you doing around 3?", you're not thinking, "why does he want to know what I'm doing in bed?"

24 obviously makes more sense and I used to prefer it. But now I'm in an industry where everyone only uses 24-hour and it reminds me of work. Not that I hate my job or anything but it is stressful and a clock saying 1300 reminds me.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

I work in logistics, so 24 hours by default

 

[lachesis]

12 hours with proper AM and PM.

I'm in the news business and I've never seen 24hr format being used either.

 

[Tams]

12 hour clock as I'm just so much more used to it. Anything past 12pm in the 24 hour clock makes me momentarily pause as I have to convert it.

I'm not in the military, so I don't need the clearness in communication the 24 hour clock gives (if radio signals are rough, the am/pm can get lost).

The 12 hour clock isn't just some British or American (how they love their imperial measurements) thing. Lots of countries use it.

Aesthetically, I think the 24 hour clock is ugly, and the 12 hour clock looks better than it even in digital form. Doubly so when spoken.

For those going 'there are 24 hours', a hours in a day are base 12. If you have a problem with that, go tell an ancient Egyptian.

12 for talking generally, 24 for work and 24 if I use a digital watch face.

 

[The Cockatrice]

24

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Written? 24 hours.

Out loud, spoken? I'd never say "o nine hundred" or "twenty one hundred" instead of 9 in the morning/ evening.

Actually there were 13. You need to add one more hour to your clock.
