I understand that some industries prefer it, but since "a.m." and "p.m." exist the 24 hour clock not necessary in daily life.

My dad also uses it occasionally, clearly absentmindedly, because he was in the Navy and then worked for DoD for decades, and the military uses..."military time."

God damn, OP is a moron
You need a 24 hour clock to be precise
You want to go to the hospital and have your medications (that are supposed to be dosed 12 hours apart) all being given at 11 ?

(R1, R2) How true, my numerous trips to Europe and beyond, always had to content with the 24 hour clock. So easy, just continue counting beyond twelve. I recall in Australia, leaving Melbourne for our next stop, we adjust our watches thirty minutes ahead, not the customary one hour.

OP is incapable of quickly adding or subtracting 12 to convert.
OP is a dummy.

I agree with OP. I also think that people who do addition and subtraction are pretentious as well and think that makes them smarter than the rest of us.

I’ve spent 10 years of my life living abroad. The 24-hour clock and the metric system make more sense, and I continue to use both even though I currently live in the US.
OP embodies much of what I hate about Americans — arrogance, ignorance, insularity, and the insistence that any other way of life is automatically wrong.

American here. Metric measurements make more sense to me.

In the film/tv industry, not only do we do military time, we do it by .6ths. For example: 1:06 pm would be 13.1, 1:12 would be 13.2, 118 would be 13.3, etc. etc. It's easier for the accountants and time keeping. If we go beyond midnight, we don't go back to 1am, it's 25 because it's the same working day.
OP, you would be hissing in your caftan fit trying to fill out your time card.

OP, I live in Southern California and I gotta say I prefer using 24 hr clocks on my personal devices. I work in tech and countless devices use 24 hr timekeeping so it just makes sense for me. Besides any moron can convert in your head. Are you a moron?

The 24 hour clock is standard in the medical field, just so you know.

Apparently none of you can read well, as I clearly stated in my OP that I understood that some industries use it. Oh, and how arrogant of you to assume I'm American, R2, R10.

24 hour clock is much more efficient and more commonly used around the world.
Personally, I still prefer am/pm, but recognize how inefficient it is.

People who use the 24-hour clock also wear scarfs indoors and hold their fork tines down in their left hand.
| by Anonymous | reply 26 | March 23, 2021 12:14 AM |
So people who use 24 hour time also know how to use a fork properly, R26? Good to know.
BTW, scarves was the word you were looking for.

Being in a benevolent mood, I will give OP the benefit of the doubt and pretend he meant [italics] Americans[/italic] who having been to Europe once, on a two week trip, return and begin saying things like "Let's have dinner at eighteen hundred. I'll mark it off in my diary so it's on my shed-you-ull."

Thanks R15, I'm glad someone else uses "extended military time" ie. 2500 to mean 1 am the same working day. In Japan, a lot of bars/businesses open late do the same thing. "Open 2200-2800". At first I thought it was a typo, but yeah, 10pm until 0400 the same working "day".
