Whenever a system puts in that format I just change it back to AM/PM, I just don’t like it, I like to have less numbers (bigger numbers) on my screens… Not that it confuses me or anything.
I never claimed superiority. I only said that since Europeans are accustomed to 24h system, the joke becomes difficult to understand, because we don’t have this problem.
