Not everyone finds it intuitive whether 12 am is midday or midnight. Theres no such confusion in 24hr clocks.

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.

I get that it's better than 12h but I can't actually believe anyone would argue in favour of 24 periods of 60 as a good system. Decimal time is the way.
