Do you prefer 12 hour time or 24 hour time?

12 hour, I can read 24 hour time easily but I wouldn't write it like that ever. 12 hour is way simpler and practical.

this thread would be better asking what type you use on your phone/laptop as I don't have a preference.... but use 24 hour on all devices

Both are easily understandable, but I prefer 24 hour a whole lot more.
It's more helpful when being a hermit and 12 hour just looks... childish? to me.

i know how to read them now it just takes me longer to work out than digital so i tend to ignore them and check my phone for time

So did you never know when a class was ending or something? Well I presume you had a digital watch but still, I can't believe you'd fake that all through school omg.

i understand how its confusing like the hour hand is always in the middle so kids have a problem in deciding which hour it is no biggie

12 hour..
is it bad that I still have to work out times on my fingers? Like 16:00 is 4 numbers after 12:00, so therefore it's 4pm. Haha silly me

EVERYTIME I SEE 15:00 I THINK ITS 5 PM its the only one i mistake stupid brain
but i do prefer 24 hr

I don't really mind that much. If I were to pick I would probably pick 24 hours.

I prefer 24 hours as it's just easiest for me now. I still have trouble reading 12 hour clocks ngl lmao

More likely to use 24 if it's like planning something in the future or writing on something official but if it's the afternoon already and I say to someone conversationally that we're going out at 8 I won't be like LEAVING AT TWENTY HUNDRED HOURS because I'm not a bell
