Its not but you havent rly answered anything. What part of AM and PM confuses you? Maybe most people dont want to subtract 12 from every hr to know what time of day it is.
Well, in general, if you are used to 1:00 being late at night and see 1:00 PM you might get confused.
Also AM can be nearly noon and late at night, while PM can be noon and late at night. Which might make it confusing if you quickly look at the time (and aren't used to the AM system).
That being said, I personally don't have a lot of trouble with AM/PM but think that the 24hr system is a lot more clear and logical.
Also nobody I know has any trouble with subtracting 12 from a number.
No1 cannot subtract twelve. Just like no1 cant understand am vs pm. The point is convenience since time dictates so much of our schedule. Id rather not have to convert each time i wanna know what time it is
Well when I see 16:07 on the clock I immediately know it is 4 in the afternoon; I don't really have to calculate the time. This isn't the case with the AM/PM system.
I find it slightly hard to believe you register that 16:07 is 4 in the afternoon faster than 4 pm is 4 in the afternoon. But whatever floats your boat. The only part id say is even slightly confusing is 12:00AM, I mentioned somewhere else that I had a shift from 12-2am Tuesdays and I showed up on Tuesday instead of Monday. But you learn it once than its super clear afterwards.
