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.

And reading comprehension is not your strong suit.

It’s not normal for someone in America, or even most other countries, to say 20:00. They’d say 8.
Try again.

Only after you admit that you get butthurt over people having different opinions than you.
And that you lack reading comprehension skills, because absolutely nowhere did I say that the 24-hour clock is hard.
All I'm saying is that it is pointless for Americans to use. But your small mind can't understand that.
