Also, wikipedia on 24-hour time: "This system is the most commonly used time notation in the world today." -- 12 hour time (AM/PM) is the exception, not 24-hour.

@hedonism13 AM/PM is really rare in Europe. I've never heard of it used in Swedish, ever. 24 hour clocks are easy, too! 1 through 11 PM is equal to 1 through 11 *plus 12*. So 4 PM -> 4+12 = 16:00.

Americans, and just about every single other country in the world. I can't think of any who rely completely on 24 hour time - I personally prefer AM - PM. Analog clocks are much harder to read while on 24 hour time.

Looked at the BBC page. They list the TV program "military". And since TV is the most important thing everywhere ;) ... Yes!

Australian who prefers the AM-PM crap. Maybe it's because it was what I was raised on, but I frankly find it simpler.

@LaSalsaFresca Notice most of those countries are former British colonies.

@LukeGeoDude It's meant for elementary level education.

@superdau Hmmm...According to Wikipedia, quite a few countries use the 12-hour clock:
Australia, Bangladesh, Canada (excluding Quebec, in French), Colombia, Egypt, El Salvador, Honduras, Ireland, Jordan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, United Kingdom, United States, Venezuela, Nigeria
Not saying it's better or worse (I actually agree that the 24-hour system is much more sensible), just that it is not ONLY the US by a long shot.

"military"?! LOL. The whole world uses "military" time, except for one country. But hey, they also put the day between the month and the year in dates and measure everything else in at least 3 different units... ;). They know how to make things unnecessarily difficult and ambiguous.
