12 or 24?

[KingDaveRa]

Do you prefer 12-hour time formats, i.e. 12:23PM, 4:32AM or are you more into the 24-hour clock, like 03:21 or 19:45?

I swing both ways (tee hee)

work its 24 hour clock on GMT

at home its 12 hour clock

Same as alipuk depends on the situation although both are preferable. Home its the 12hour format while in work we work by the 24hour.

i like both


12 hour clock gives you times like 12:34, 11:11, 1:01 etc but TWICE a day (more chance of witnessing them)

24 hour clock has all these in the morning but in the afternoon gives you a whole host of other options such as 13:37, 20:04, 15:21, 20:01 (a space oddesy)


but luckily with both you get cowboy time:

9:50 or 21:50

depends what watch/clock im looking at, but i think i prefur 12 hour, because it looks neater, when you get up to like 23:43 it just doesnt look as nice as 11:43.

plus i've never been so un-aware of the time that i dont know if its evening or morning.

I prefer my own form of decimalised time.

12 hours easier to understand imo

[Jedi180]

mathmatics is involved in a 24 hour clock, so being the lazy sod i am.. its 12 hour all the way! :p: :p:

good point, the whole "taking away 12" thing just isnt worth it.
