The demographic you're referring to - North Americans within the USA who don't know how 24-hour time works - are < 2% of the world's population.

- hn_throwaway_99 6y agoSo? What's your point? If you're selling something in the US, and it gave time in 24hr time as the only option, most Americans would hate it.

- snowwrestler 6y agoTrue but the GP asked about "literally everyone in the world" and the parent is a correct and useful answer to that question.
- Jedd 6y agoYou're right. I tend to assume people that use the word 'literally' are using it incorrectly - as parent did. It's sad, but an ineluctable truth, that this word is almost always misunderstood and misused. In the (again, regrettable) common usage use of the word -- ie. 'almost all' -- the claim is likely valid.
