Why is it that Americans refer to 24 hour time as military time? I understand that the military uses the 24hr format but I don’t understand why the general public would refer to it like that?
It makes it seem like it’s a foreign concept where as in a lot of countries it’s the norm.
My company used to always use 24hr time when we were using a DOS based system. Then we upgraded to Windows Server 2009 and everything changed to 12hr. I preferred the 24hr. There were less mistakes.
