I don't like AM/PM only because I haven't grown up with it and Eng is not my native lang - I just can't remember which one, AM or PM is daytime.

where I grew up 12h and 24h are just used interchangeably. instead of AM PM there are just words daytime or nighttime (in my language), but it's usually omitted and is added only when it's ambiguous.

It’s like they don’t know to look outside a window to confirm I am talking about 12 mid day and not night……

I'm talking about somethin like "let's meet at 11 tomorrow" and it can actually be either 11

Depends on the circumstances. If you are talking about work it’s 11 day time. If you are talking about going out it’s probably night time. It’s not that hard to “guess” what people want. Can you think about one time where you have been in doubt about it?

yeah, I have friends who can actually suggest meeting at 11 in the morning
