> We speak in terms of 1-12 hours but we know to parse 17:00 as 5PM in the spot. This is how it is for me as well, once you learn 24h time it's about as simple as can be, and I learned when I was a kid. I don't think I've ever lived anywhere where 24h time was the norm for writing/displaying though - or maybe I just didn't notice because I'm fine with it.
