Errm. I wonder if it's possible to add a 24 hours clock to the existing 12 hours clock (AM/PM)?
When taking a quick overview it's kinda disturbing to look closer on the time a post was posted.
24 hours clocks are more usual in Continental Europe... ^_^;;

you mean like if it were 3:00pm, i would be 15:00? More or less military time over here. But it sounds like a good idea.

Military clock is 24 hours :E. I personally like the am/pm, because anything confuses the shit out of me @.@. Silly America, I live in.

Here's an easy way to work it out that my dad taught me. If the hour is past 12 o'clock (13,14,15 ect) Ignore the first digit and then subtract 2 from the second one. So, lets say it was 18:45. Ignore the first digit, 8:45. Then subtract 2, 6:45. 18:45 = 6:45. It might sound complicated, but I think it's just the way I explained it (not very well).

Never thought of that way before, actually. That's an interesting way of working it out

It's only when it gets past 20 it doesn't quite work as well, but you can still understand what time it is.

It's a lot simpler just to take away 12. 20-12=8

That's what I do because it makes sense. Though I'm still just happy with a.m./p.m. Except I forget 12 a.m. is midnite @.@
