Do you prefer 12 hour time or 24 hour time?

I prefer the 24 hour clock because it's what I'm most used to.

24 hour clock as that is what I am used to using.

24 hour time

12-hour time.

I Prefer 24 hour clocks, 12 hour annoys me

Yes! Theres 2 girls in my english class who learnt how to tell the time in the end of year 9..
One of them still ask 'Is 17:00, 5pm?'

i don't really mind either, but i use 24 hour mostly but if im meeting up with someone i'll use 12 hour time. i know the 24 hour one off by heart, but sometimes for a little bit of reassurance i will just take two away from the number e.g. 16:00 - 2 = 14:00 and i take the second number, always done it like that

12 hour mostly because i'm used to it

I prefer 12 hour time

When I speak with 24 hour time, I don't say e.g. eighteen hundred hours, I say eighteen zero zero

12 more, 24 hour confuses the hell outta me
