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.
We are, and plenty of em.
They just aren’t in English.
So if we look for English content, we encounter fantasy metrics where you guys measure in the feet of a long dead king, and the idiotic AM/PM system that goes from 11 AM to 12 PM and then to 1 PM.
Why are you so obsessed with what Americans use for measurements? They aren’t forcing or even asking you to use it
Ok, then why blame us? “Oh no. Someone put up a sign for burgers and when I went inside, they had burgers! Im going to blame them!”
Also, plenty of countries use both 12 hour and 24 hour time. Its not hard.
