I taught my 5 year old niece to remember "am = at morning, pm = past morning" lol.Comment

I grew up using military time (24 hour format) but prefer to use AM/PM. Much simpler and has more meaning in every day life. Why go through the trouble of deducting 12 from the military format to find out what time it actually is? But to each his own, of course.

No no, when it's 10:30 you also have to tell if it's am or pm.
10:30 or 22:30 is way more direct. And easier.
Now i think of it, why do you think the military time exists?Comment

The shackles have time written all over them.Comment

You do not need to deduct, you just know (or learn in few minutes) that for example 19:00 is 7:00.
In spoken language its rarely used but in written (in this case forum posts) it makes perfect sense.Last edited by mineistaken; 01-03-2013, 05:59 PM.Comment

hey, think about it for a minute, it is the other time around, there are 24 hours int he day not 12, with regular time, when it is after noon, you have to add 12 hours to know what time it really is, not the other way around.
you mind adjusts, I went to high school on a military base, and we used military time, I had not used it before. Day 1 it was confusing, Day 10 I no longer had to think about subtracting 12 hours, you knew it by heart, Day 25, you stop comparing the two systems at all, because the comparison is irrelevant, you no longer think "ok 2100 is 9pm" you think 2100 is 2100, and when someone says it is 9 pm, you convert it to your new system.

I prefer not keeping time. I'll get there when I get there and if we have a date/appointment that should be discussed 30 minutes or however long it takes me to get there beforehand.Last edited by onwebcam; 01-05-2013, 02:15 AM.PLEASE WAIT WHILE BIDEN ADMIN UNINSTALLS ITSELF.....

so when you answer the question "when do we meet for drinks tonight" you (or french) says "at 21th hour"? Not "at 9"? Strange.
In most 24 hour clock countries "21th hour" instead of "9th hour" in spoken language are rarely used. Usually its just 9th (evening or morning is implied) or they say "9 in the evening/morning" if its not implied.
More common use in spoken language is when somebody asks "whats the time?" and you say time by looking at your digital watch (on the phone etc).Last edited by mineistaken; 01-05-2013, 01:14 PM.Comment

when I studied English in 5-6th grade, it wasn't enough that the language felt backwards to me but also having to remember am/pm and exactly what it meant. Hated it. Not to mention the pounds, and ounces.........

I agree - AM/PM has called me a scammer (probably / possibly) on multiple occasions, and not once have they posted proof !
So yes - Ban the fucker
