It's just so useless! If the time is 1:30 pm, why not call it 13:30??? The Swedish way is much MUCH more better. It just confuzzlez* everything if you do Pm and Am.

*Another word for confuses.

Same here! When I'm chatting and somebody asks what the time is here, I keep on forgetting the Am/Pm thing! >_< If only they were using the 24 hour clock...

I use both regularly...I don't quite understand why one should be over the other, they're fine the way they are o_O

I prefer the simple AM/PM setting it doesn't both me at all. I guess I've gotten used to it. Although I can tell time with both easily. I just prefer the traditional setting.

Im used to the AM/PM clock, but thats because i live in america.
I think that the 24 hour is just as easy to use though.

I don't really see how Am and Pm is even the slightest bit confusing Zega.

If you are not needing it often enough for the info to stick, it will be confussing. I had a long period of time when I was younger where I had to check the dictionary to make sure I was right about the am or pm.

That is probably because you live in a country where you have the AM/PM stuff...

Easy for you to say.

I think AM/PM is easy to use since I live in America. It's just 24 hours split in half.

well you see the 24 hour clock sometimes confuses people. 16 00 is 4pm but people may think its 3pm or 5pm after a hard day at work Im used to both, my watch uses the 24 hour system and the rest of my clocks use am/pm.

AM/PM clocks are easy for me too read, but I am getting used to 24hr clocks.

American people have their own stupid way of things this is an good example, its much easier on our way but no american have to be difrent. this isn't the only stupid thing, they have no centimeters they have inches, why!?!? the other rest of the world uses centimeters the answer is simple they want to be difrent, that makes them also stupid.
