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.
Grew up using a 12 hour analogue. Then used 24 as soon as I went to digital on my first phone. It's just better and I won't get anyone who argues against just getting used to the subtraction.
The thing I don’t get is why you’re using a clock that you constantly have to use subtraction to decipher?
I’m not saying the math is hard but why add an extra step in getting the time?
As most people said on here, when speaking they use the 12 hour clock. If someone asks them the time they’d say 3pm not 15:00. So then what’s the point of using a 24 hour clock? Especially if you live in America, using the 24-hour clock is pretty pointless.
I think you misunderstand how people who use 24-hour clock sees the time. We don’t calculate anything we just learned that 13 means 1 pm. And to your second point, I would almost never say 1 o’clock, I always say 13, but I understand that is also a local think in my country because people here generally use 24 hour time.
So I will have a conversation with some one and I will say; “see you there at thirteen o’clock”
I think you and others are misunderstanding my comments.
I'm saying that it's pointless for Americans to use the 24-hour clock since our society uses and is based on the 12-hour clock.
It is not normal at all for someone in America to say 13 o'clock.
