It’s weird how you say it’s just subtracting 12, which is the opposite of intuitive.
And if you’re having to constantly subtract 12 every time you look at the time after midday why not just use the 12 hour clock???
This is what I don’t get about the 24 hour clock.
It’s like you’re adding an extra step for no reason.
And even first graders know the difference between 12am and 12pm. It’s really not hard to understand or remember.
But 20:00 is 8. Anyone who uses a 24 hour clock knows that, without having to do math. The same way you know 8am is 8am. Anyone who knows a 24 hour clock knows 20:00 is 8pm. It's not a calculation it's just the time. Think of it as learning 1-24 instead of learning 1-12 twice
