How do you write out time?

[natalia]

i see a lot of people write out the time differently.

for example: the time is supposedly 4:15 PM.

i write out my time like that, but i also see other’s have different preferences. like, they write theirs out like this, “16:15”.

my question is, what is your preference in typing and/or writing out time, and why?

I write time in 24 hour clock.

[celestialkitten]

I do 12 hour clock.

I prefer to write it out like 16:15, but because some people on the internet got confused by it, so I use am and pm most of the time now

I do the same thing
I prefer using the 24-hour clock, but I usually use the 12-hour clock online to not confuse others

America primarily uses the 12-hour system, but other places use military time.
I use the 12 hr system, but using military time has less confusion about AM or PM.

It really depends on if I can be bothered writing AM and PM after the time

[glxwingAngel]

I prefer 24 hours because it’s just simple and I’m used to it.

[Mysterious_Tea]

I use the 12 hour clock.

The 12 hour clock, but I like to specify if it’s AM or PM.

I use the 12 hour clock lol, I have trouble reading the 24 hour one, especially with all our different time zones.
