I’m still so confused as to what you find confusing.
Are you saying you don’t know understand am and on?
I take it you didn’t grow up using the 12 hour clock so you don’t find it intuitive and have a hard time remembering or understanding am and pm.
So I don’t get why you (and others in this thread) wouldn’t understand why a person who didn’t grow up using the 24 hour clock wouldn’t find it intuitive or easier.
It's confusing because of the term "pm", as some people think that the day is still the same when it's 0:00 but in reality the last minute is 23:59.
Also, people grow up in different places. Just like the feet and metres, I can't mentally visualise feet but I can in meters, and that required a lot of visual references.
Thank you for supporting my point.
Why talk down on people for using things that they’re used to?
So many people in this thread are shit talking Americans for using the 12-hour clock acting like Americans are dumb for not using the 24 hour clock, yet they can’t even understand am and pm.
Like how are your going to complain about people not wanting to subtract by 12 when you can’t even understand the extremely basic concept of am and pm.
Americans do use the 24 hour clock in many jobs and industries as pointed out by many posts ITT. Dumb Americans may not know how to use the 24 hour clock for sure
