What time format are you more familiar with?

Heya, Im used to the Asleep Mode(AM) and Procrastinating Mode(PM). Im really still asleep until 12Noon, most especially if its vacation and I dont have anything else to do except to eat, sleep, watch tv, play videogames, and surf the net. As for the Procrastinating Mode, I usually do most of my work at night. Its the time that I can fully concentrate on what Im doing since the neighborhood is quite silent. Im locked in my room, sitting on my bed, writing paperworks or directly typing them on my laptop. Play music while working just to keep my awake, if an 'all-nighter' is necessary to get the job done. Well, I procrastinate to the extent that I can like play a game for an hour and then work, or something like that, but 'budgeting' the amount of time left that Im still able to do substantial work. Well, a serious answer to your question, Im familiar with the time format that tells it like it is. The AM/PM not only tells the exact number of the time but also indicates whether the day is just in the first half/morning or already in the second half of the day/afternoon/night.

i feel comfortable with military time

Hello ratyz5, you know I prepared to use 12 Hrs format . But since my work requires 24 Hrs format then I am into it also, now I am using 24 Hrs format its all because of my work ...

I was brought up with a.m. and p.m. so I am more comfortable with them. I can use 24 hour timer but I have to do some calculations in the afternoon and evening to understand the correct time.

I use the AM/PM time. I understand military time, but it still kind of makes me pause for a tiny moment when I see it, to make sure I am right. Though, I think I know it pretty well for someone who never has to use it. I am a lot more comfortable with AM/PM time. A family member of mine knows binary time. He has a binary clock. It is a bunch of dots that light up, that make no sense to me. But, he always knows what time it says.

I find it more easier to use the 24 hour or military time format. I am just used to it, I remember when I was working before as a Concierge, we usually jot down the daily activities what had happened during our duty/shift and we need to write down what time we came in for work and write down incidents especially the exact time it happened.

Well, having worked in a military base for two years... i got used to using the military time format... so that is what i am using with my cell phone, laptop, and other digital devices that has a clock feature... and i think if my ordinary watch or wall clock has the 13th to 24th... i will also be using that...

Military time for me. Reason: Looks cooler to have in my phone and watch in my opinion. ^_^

Hi, ratyz5. I am more familiar with the digital time better. I am able to tell time the right way. As for the military time, I can't just tell by looking at it. I would have to count the digital time together with the military time to see what time it may be. This is confusing to me. I will just stick with setting my clocks to the digital format.

12-hours format..i set this format because the numbering is easy to recall..i am using this format in my personal cellphone, and home watch..i'm not familiar really with twenty four hour format sometimes, i get mistaken if somebody would gonna asked me, although i know it's function but if it is for rush..i might be wrong sometimes..

With the 24-hour format, I had to subtract the beyond-12 numbers with 12 to get the time. So to save myself from the hassle, I would prefer the 12-hour format. It is much easier for me. :-D You should be in the military, ratyz! just kidding

I am used to using the ordinary AM, PM time format. Whenever I am somewhere that they use military time it throws me for a loop. I can figure it out but have to use my fingers and toes LOL. My husband is good with both.

The 12 hour format. I am used to it. The 24 hour format is really hard. when it counts to 15, I still have to count what 15 is in 12 hour format. hahaha,

Hi Ratyz5, i used to the ordinary time format if in local country or country nearby with same time zone, while when travelling overseas i prefer use the military time which are counted up to twenty four hours.Have a nice day!

i have no problem at all with any time setting... i am fine... but i think i am still more comfortable in using the am and pm setting... just getting used to it since that is what i had been taught since i was a child... take care and have a nice day...

Catching your ear keeping your arm and hand across your head or catching it direct are the same. I like to use am and pm system on my wrist watch. But sometime I also try to use what you called the military time system. But military time system is a bit confusing for me as me and about all the people from my area are familiar with am and pm setting of time.

I am just like you. The military time format works for me. I use this time format in my cell phone and computer. I don't wear a watch though. I don't know the exact reason. Maybe I am used to this time format. I just think that it will give me a better idea of time.

I am accustomed to That Am and Pm format. I don't use the military one.

Hello,ratyz. Just like you,I am using the military time on my mobile phone.I don't exactly have an explanation for doing so...I guess I just like using it. Thanks.Happy mylottin!

This is an interesting question & i never pay attention to this issue. On my part, i am more familiar with the format wherein the hours are counted up to twenty four,also called military time. A day has 24 hours & it is increasing hour after hour,I can feel the passing of time until the midnight in the military time. *^^*
