'Normal' countries? Explain.

Why the downvotes? pds pd is right. Most countries in the world (!) use a far less confusing timesystem of 24 hours. No chance to miss the right time.

Well for me, I live in Canada so we use a combination of both. We use 12-hour time, Celsius, metric

It's how you set your phone up.

In "normal" countries? Your "normal" countries are no better than any other, simply because you do things differently.

Tbh when it comes to your phone (or your microwave, or your oven) it's personal preference and you get the choice between a 12 or a 24 hour system. I only know of France as a country that uses the 24 hour system colloquially in speech and even then I'm sure a lot of French people don't.

NORMAL COUNTRIES??!!!!! HMMph!!

"Normal" Are Libya, Myanmar, and USA not normal?

Normal countries? Wtf is that supposed to mean?

You should think before you "let your fingers do the walking" through the muck of abnormality in your brain. There is nothing abnormal about countries who choose to tell tie on a 12-hour cycle. Maybe you are incapable of understanding the simple difference between "a.m." and "p.m.", or a statement such as "See you at 2:00 tomorrow afternoon."", but here in America it is both quite simple AND quite normal for us. If it's too abnormal for you, I think there is a plane that leaves regularly for JFK International Airport at 17:20 every day. You can easily make arrangements at JFK to return to whatever "normal" and stuck up country you came from!! Good riddance!

That's military time.

Nothing to do with "normal countries" it is an option to set it to a 12 hour clock (7:30pm) if you struggle to tell the time, or a 24 hour clock (19:30) nothing to do with normality, it is preference over everything else. For years I could only have a digital watch in a 12 hour format, now I use a watch with dashes, but that is because I have gone through the process of 12 hour digital, numbered wristwatch, numbered at 12, 3, 6 and 9 but can never use a wristwatch with Roman Numerals, because my Aspie brain cannot cope with it. I'm sure, if you wanted to, you could change your clock to 12 hour format, but as you deem yourself "normal", I suspect you use a 2 hour one, which is fine, as that is your preference. And anyway, what is "normal" there is no "normal" there's media portrayals and then there's everyone else. Normal is a figment of one's imagination to conform to the media and society and to fit in a one-size-fits-all box ... "Normal" just means boring.

In some countries, in other countries, in the military, not "normal."

19:30? Where do you live live? The moon?

Sorry, my response was only meant for pds pd, NOT everyone else! I don't know why it posted to everyone when I replied only to the one comment.

"Normal" people know how to set their phones to 24 hour(military) time

My phone only does AM or PM. Pretty annoying when you are already tired and not paying attention. Oh, and I live in a normal country, too! (kidding, joke, ha ha. but seriously that phone setting is the pits!)
