I cannot tell you the number of times in my life that a 12 hour clock has lead to a _major_ fuckup. I run all my personal clocks on 24hr to prevent said fuckups, but somehow I still feel weird telling people a meeting is at 15:00 in an email.

>but somehow I still feel weird telling people a meeting is at 15:00 in an email. It feels weird because you think people will think it's weird. You're probably right. Personally I use a 24-hour representation and convert it to 12 when communicating with others. 11:59AM -> 12:00PM, 11:59PM -> 12:00AM caused me mental discomfort for a long time. A 24-hour clock made a lot more sense, but it doesn't seem like most other people have a problem with 12. They'd rather you used "normal" time. If you want to fight that battle go for it. I believe you're right. Next: Date format!
