Which one do you use? 12 hours or 24 hours?

I'm living in a place where we are using 12 hours time format, but my job is using 24 hours format which is making me confused at first. Luckily I was able to adjust even though I'm using 12 hours but there is still time that I got confused. If I'm going to choose I'll stay on 12 hours time format

personally I use both

3pm or 15.00 I know both

Knowing the 24 hour time is a good thing. I find 24 hour easier.

I like the 24 hour format since I could easily identify time after 12 noon to midnight. With the 12 hours you have to look at the am or pm to distinguish if it is morning or afternoon time.

The 24 hours system is a lot better.

I would like more than 24 hours in a day, I wonder how 12 hours may be enough for some people

In Europe we use the 24 hours system, you can never get the time wrong using this system.

I use 12 hours. 24 hours would confuse me too.

I would always use 12 hour by default but using 24 hours is not bad for me.

I use both. It takes awhile getting used to it but use it enough times and you'll get the hang of it.

I use the 12 hours format. It's been use widely here too. You'll get more confusion if you tell the time in 24 hours format to someone here.
