Hey, hey - no criticism implied! - I'm married to a Yank and I've lived out across the pond for a good number of years (though back in Her Brittanic Maj's Sceptred Isle nowadays). Living over thataways, though, I did discover that 24hr clock isn't as universally ubiquitous over there as it is over here, which weirdly seemed to depend largely on which State you lived in (I never found out why).

What about Americans having a hard time to read the 24hour clock? :)

Thats what SC said Diablito!
I guess one option would be to allow style of clock (12 or 24) to be a user-profile-settable option, so people can make (and save) their own preference; and this might be the route we go down.

Europeans have a hard time reading... Cut Diablo some slack... The post wasn't a cartoon...

Its easy once you get it. Will be automatically. Now its 21:48 21:48 - 12 = 9:48pm (for me in The Netherlands).
Basic math :).
But SC is going to give us the option to have am/pm or 24 so dont be worried smarm :)

Aye, this much is true...americans do seem to have a problem with counting to 24, despite half of them apparantly being busy invading some middle eastern nation. |
