Military Time vs 24hr?
Military Time vs 24hr?
Why is it that Americans refer to 24 hour time as military time? I understand that the military uses the 24hr format but I don’t understand why the general public would refer to it like that?
It makes it seem like it’s a foreign concept where as in a lot of countries it’s the norm.
You're viewing a single thread.
Given how they use different systems to measure almost everything than the rest of the world, I'd say I'm OK with them not using the 24h format, I'd expect them to use something like the 27 American hours, divided in 109 minutes of 31 seconds each.
You mean the 50 hour freedom clock? One hour for each state, yee-haw!
You mean freedom minutes, right??
Sorry, you're right. And stars and stripes minutes
The freedom clock, where hours are called "freedoms", minutes are called "stars" and seconds are called "stripes".
Stop giving them ideas!
