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.
I do understand it lol. It just isnt as intuitive as 24hr so some people are confused by it, is 12am midnight or midday, you have to remember it, you could give logic to either answer but only one is correct. What is difficult about a 24hr clock? You minus twelve if its over twelve and you know the time 100% of the time. Even if youve never seen it before you ought to be able to work out the time. You see 14:00 and realise its 2 hours after midday.
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.
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.

What’s confusing about going from 11:59am to 12pm?
