12-hour time or 24-hour time?

[The Kaeya Simp 13,983]

I feel like 24h time doesn't really make much sense to use in English speaking countries, due to the way we say time,

most languages 24h time makes more sense, but 12h in english makes way more sense, due to how time is described in English

I use and prefer 12 hour time. It's what pretty much everyone I know uses and it's what I grew up using, so I understand it better. With 24 hour time, I have to think about it in the afternoon, especially if it's like 17:00 or later.

Eh, I don't really see that personally.

Think I generally prefer 12 hour overall but I don't really mind that much and will happily use both.

Definitely 24 hour clock. But we just pronounce things in the 12-hour way. So 16:15 is still just 'a quarter past 4'.

I like 12 hour time. I have to use 24 hour time at work because that’s the system they have in place, but even so, most people there revert back to 12 hour time without even realizing it. It’s a hard habit to break and no one really wants to deal with changing the way they were brought up to think of it. Whether it’s logical or not, I’m sticking to my 12 hour routine, I never said I was a logical creature, just a creature of habit.

Same, 24 hour time makes me feel like a soldier.

I'm accustomed to 12 hour and so 24 hour takes me a second to do the conversion. That said, 24 hour removes ambiguity and is the superior system, so I do prefer it.

[Lucky Bolt 35,013]

I use 12-hour time as most Americans do. 

[IronM17 5,145]

24 h time because I am german and we always use this system. 

[SparklingSwirls 21,271]

I use 12-hour time since it’s what I’m used to.

How about Ethiopian time? Two 12-hour cycles, one from dawn to dusk and one from dusk to dawn. Now that’s hard to wrap your head around

I use 12 hour Am/PM. That's what I'm used to. Even though my grandpa did teach me the 24 hour time when I was younger, I'm still used to and prefer the 12 hour AM/PM time. Thats whats the tv listings sites like Zap2it and tvguide use.
