I have everything set to 24hr clock, I just find it so much more comfortable to use. I know where I am with it, no need to look outside to see if the sun is shining, if it says 23:11 then I know its night time. What about you?

I prefer 12-hour clocks because there are fewer numbers. :P

I use the 12 hour clock. When I see the 24 hour clock I automatically translate to the 12 hour clock in head.

I think both at the same time. Yes, my synapses are pretty buff.

Our schedule at work was changed to 24hr time and even though most of us can use our heads and follow the schedule, there are a few that are slightly retarded and it just destroys their minds

I've always used 12 hour clocks. I'm comfortable with them. I'm perfectly capable of following a 24 hour clock, but I'm just not used to it so I don't like it as much.

I kinda feel like a 24hr clock would be easier but I have a theory.

I've visited a few countries that have use metric, and it seems the people in these countries are terrible at judging values in metric. Ask somebody to make an estimate, and they're off by my than 2x the value. Americans are normally off, but rarely by that much. Maybe it's just culture but I've seen it in 2 very different cultures that use the metric system, and don't seem to have any similar problems. Or maybe since most my time spent in the US is rural, and most my time spent abroad is in more urban areas.

Anyway I feel that if I switched to a 24 hour clock I don't think I'd really know what time it was.

Also why no metric time?

Because you don't have to ask "AM, or PM?"

I use both. If I see 1 P.M., I think 13:00. When I see 15:00, I think 3:00 P.M.

24 hour. I've been using it for years now, though everyone finds me a bit peculiar for doing so.

Well I've never used anything other than the 12 hour clock, so :P

And plus, why would I need to ask AM or PM anyway? If somebody says it's 2 o' clock, and it's daylight, I'm gonna know right away it's PM, lol

Lol it's more of when I ask my friends something like, "What time did you go?" "8." See how it can be confusing? :P

I use 12-hour clocks with everything, but I recently changed the clock on my Xbox 360 to the 24-hour system. It switched to it when I was changing the system's locale, and even though I changed the locale back to what it was before, I decided to keep the clock format.

12 hour. But recently I've been going to sleep at 7AM and waking up at 6PM, so my internal clock is messed up. Maybe the 24 hour is better for me.
