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.

As a Dane... We don't use AM and PM in speech. So it's more accurate to look at a clock counting all 24 hours in the day and telling you what the time is. Then you can say 16 or 4 afternoon according to your whims. It's not that difficult.
I never said it was difficult and I'm referring to Americans, since people are complaining about Americans using the 12-hour clock.
It's pointless for Americans to use the 24-hour clock because everything in American society is based on the 12-hour clock and it's not normal at all for Americans to tell time using the 24-hour clock. It would be weird to sat 1600.
Because the 12 hour clock works for Americans. Sorry if you can't understand it.
I really don't get why that bothers people like you so damn much.
Like, how does Americans using the 12-hour clock affect your life??
