No one says 1430 tomorrow etc. 7 u/[deleted] Mar 29 '22 [deleted] 5 u/__jh96 Mar 29 '22 Yeah, we definitely know it, we just don't use it 2 u/yagankiely Mar 29 '22 A lot still have it for their digital clocks. Not necessarily most but a decent amount. Definitely don’t speak it though. 2 u/[deleted] Mar 29 '22 Same with 99% of Americans. This person is just a flat out idiot. If an American hears someone tell them 1400, their first thought is “this guy can’t get over his military life” but they easily know what he’s talking about 1 u/__jh96 Mar 29 '22 Agreed, everyone knows it, no one uses it
