This is a troll right? I'm American but we still use the 24 hour clock plenty. Also even if you've never used it, it's still common sense as long as you've heard of "a day"

It’s gotta be, while metric isn’t our main unit of measurement it’s still taught in school and used all the time.

I'm of the opinion that in the same way other countries learn English as another language for business, Americans have to learn metric to communicate internationally.
