12- or 24-hour system

[The Monkey]

A long time ago I make a tread like this, but it was not as good as this will be, and it didn't have a poll

What do you think is best, 1.00 am or 1.00, 4.00 pm or 16.00 etc.
Of course you say 4 o'clock, when speaking, but this conserns more written type of time. Ladies and Gentlemen, let's start the flaming!

24 hour system. It's been abit confusing with AM/PM for me but I've sorta got the hang of it now. Except for this, what do you say for 12 in the night and 12 in the day?

A is for after, but it isn't.
That is how I remember it.

AM/PM diffnitely... let's keep the numbers small and math to a minimum please...

12 in the 'night' is the start of a new day and is 12 AM, 12 PM is lunchtime! :burp:

The 24-hour clock system makes more sense, when you need consistency and efficiency. It's always four digits, and it's much simpler.

12 hour clock. I hate having to deduct 12 hours to work out what time it is when its the afternoon :\. I never got the hang of 24 hour clock. I mean I can almost instantly recognise the time when i look at a 24 hour clock but a 12 hour clock seems nice and easy.

I am much more used to the 12-hour system but I would prefer using a 24-hour system.

 

[Lil' Timmy]

24 makes more sense.

 

[Vigilante]

Yeah...I'm used to the 12 hour system (being american). The 24 hour system makes sense, but whenever I encounter it I always finding myself subtractin 12 to get to the 12 hour system. America SHOULD GO METRIC though! Metric is so much easier than the english system

 

[PvtRyan]

24h system of course. It's impossible to get confused that way.

 

[Jakeic]

psh, in my high school, the science wing was on metric time!

 

[Maxi]

24, since that's what I use!

 

[ytinupmi]

24 hour here as well, been using it for ages.

 

[Asus]

I like the idea of using 24 hour time. Just have to get used to it over the AM/PM times. I am pretty decent at it but not as quick as I would like. Metric is the way to go, in my opinion.

 

[qckbeam]

The 24 hour clock is so much more efficient

 

[ComradeBadger]

I can't tell the time on analogue clocks ;(

So 24h it is

 

[Gorgon]

I love 24 Hour system, I CAN'T survive without such a system.

 

[Bad^Hat]

12, I'm used to it.

 

[Sprafa]

24 kiks ass

 

[Yuri]

24 hour clocks make so much more sense. Just like the metric system.

Good ol' US of A. :hmph:

Takes me a while to figure out what a 24 hour clock means because I'm not used to it, though.


Hey, no one voted for you to stop making polls, Monkey!
