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 don’t use it in Canada, expect military or hospital records.

      Quebec would like to have a word with you.

      Then again they also have some opinions on that whole ‘Canada’ thing too.
