It is wild how people refuse to use the 24 hour clock. It is so logical and easy. kind of like the metric system…..
It only solves a small part of the issue at the cost of less convenience and consistency. Propose a “metric” time that solves more of this issue problem and I’m all for it
What? ... seriously, which convenience and consistency are you talking about.
24h only has one "inconsistency", going from 23:59 to 0:00. How is that less consistent than 12am being after 11:59pm and 12pm being after 11:59am. Solves all parts of the issue except for one. Which is a lot better than the 12h system.
Heh thanks for explaining it, I never knew if noon was 12am or 12pm. In German we say "11 in the morning", "12 o Clock (noon*)" , and "1 o Clock (in the afternoon)"
But typically we don't say whether it's am or pm, it's clear from context if "i need to be in the work meeting at 9"
Clocks, TV listings, my work timesheet read 24h times. We read 15:00 as "three" most of the time.
Btw some software tools (my timesheet for work) differnciate between 0:00 and 24:00. I can work (theoretically) from 0:00 to 8:00 (8h in the night to morning) and from 16:00 to 24:00 (8 hours from afternoon to midnight).
So 0:00 and 24:00 are the same moment but thought to belong to the next or previous say, respectively.
