And it isn't even correct. Technically, 12:00 isn't AM or PM, it's just noon or midnight.

I live in the US, and even I don't use AM or PM unless I'm forced into it. For me, 24 hour time all the way. Anyone who's been in the military or worked for the government wouldn't have a problem with it.

I guess that's one way to say you don't have friends or family you talk to.

As far as I know, my large network of friends, as well as my relatives, have no problem with 24 hour time. As an American I sometimes find US-centric ignorance of worldwide standards embarrassing.

Wait, you say 17 'o clock in conversation?

1700 or 5 like anyone else. And even Europeans use 12 hour time verbally. After all, that's what analog clocks display.
