    Fair. I actually get actively mad when stuff puts me on a 12-hour clock.

      We’re living in 2025, civilization is globalized, most of the world has easy access to electricity and can work even during night. We don’t need two separate 12-hour cycles to separate daytime and nighttime for <insert your local area>. Let’s move on and use a proper time format.

      And a personal pet peeve, please never call it “military time” - that illogical and ugly bastardization of ISO8601.

        Ah yes, ISO8601. Just rolls of the tongue, doesn’t it?

          I mean, the more common name is “24-hour clock”, ISO8601 is the standard defining it. Just like it (finally?) has become commonplace to just say “WiFi 6” instead of saying " IEEE 802.11ax".

            I was just kidding. I know that no one uses that in common conversation, but it’d be funny of everyone went around saying the standard by its identifier.
