I grew up with the 24 hour format. "Military time", indeed - in Europe it's universal. Except, perhaps, in the UK. But here's the thing: the 24 hour format is mostly in writing. I _write_ 19:20, but I _say_ "twenty past seven". Or rather, because I'm Norwegian, I say "ten to half eight".

Yeah, in the Netherlands we do that too, "ten to half eight". The somewhat older generations that is. My daughter, now in her early twenties, grew up with digital time and depending on the situation it's "twenty past seven", "ten to half eight" or even sometimes "nineteen hours twenty".

@@zoolkhan You can represent compass directions with clock numbers just as easily. Compass directions are a bit too long and difficult to say. Clock numbers are 2 digit numbers and often just single digits. In a combat scenario, where there is lots of noise, shouting, and men are spread out over distance, shouting "two hundred and seventy" is just clunky and some of that info can get lost more easily. Human brain in general sucks at processing numbers larger than 100. Shouting enemy at six is way faster and more difficult to mix it up with anything else.

Finland uses both 24 and 12 hour clock as well. 12 hour clock is used in everyday life and in spoken language whereas 24 hour clock is used in formal context where you have to know the exact time.

He's joking but pointing out something real. In the US, the military express the hours like he said. And it isn't correct. I've been in countries where they use both formats, but when they express the hour in the 24h format they say 19:00 hs. Not 1900hs.

Some people just don't want to understand: The military does this for a reason, namely to prevent confusion or misinterpretations. And since not all the smartest people of the country join the military it is very important to use it like that. I don't want to be standing there alone at 5 a.m. to get ready for an attack while everyone else is still sleeping because they thought it wouldn't start until 5 p.m.. And I'm not kidding, there are always some idiots who make fun of everything, but at some point it just annoys me that fewer and fewer people take things seriously.

As a Finn I find these kind of multi-standard things problematic, too. My height in the metric system is 181 cm. That's precisely 1,81 metres. (And 0,00181 kilometres). In American measurement units, my height would be 5.93832 feet, or 5 foot and 11,26 inches. Those 5 feet, and 11 inches are the part I understand. But what the hell are those 0,26 inches? Diameters of a pubic hair? (26 ph?) Still, neither of those ways to measure my height are precise; People tend to shorten down within the day, and stretch up when resting [because of the gravity, (please spare me of the details of different measuring methods of gravity). On vampires it's the opposite, i presume. I found a solution that will apply every situation, that would be always accurate: I'm precisely 1 ft 1 leg 1 butt 1 torso 1 neck and a head high, all the time. Easy!

Longer videos pleaaaase😢

yeah agree... but my problem with US date and month which is in the US it's MM/DD ..... 09/08 is september 8th .... but for me as an Asian it's 9th of August ..... hahaha....

The thing I find superior about the rhe 24 hour clock isn't that it stops splitting the day in two halves but that it stops the annoying schicsm between when the numbers roll over versus when the designator of which half you're in rolls over. It makes no snese at all that in the 12 hour clock, AM and PM roll over an hour before the numbers do. 12:01 am should logically be, by the nomenclature, 12 hours and 1 minute after the AM started. But it isn't. Its really zero hours and 1 minute into the AM. Similarly 12:01pm should be 12 hours and 1 minute after the afternoon started. But it's not. This ugliness stems from the fact that the 12 on the clock is taking the place of what should really be a zero. The 12 hour clock should go from 0:00 to 11:59 rather than 1:00 to 12:59 if they want the AM and PM designator flip when it does. The 12 hour clock doesnt do this because the time language was invented before Europe knew zero and the 12 is doing the job of a zero. When people switched to a 24 hour clock they also stoped this nonsense and started counting at zero. (So 1 minute after midnight is 00:01 rather than 24:01.) Using zero properly so the numbers roll over when the day rolls over rather than an hour later is what makes the 24 hour clock simpler.

Do people actually say it that way?? I've only ever heard it said as "we will meet (at) 1900 hrs (7pm) Not (in) 1900 hrs The joke is funny, but.. ❤Ismo, he is the best!

@dunbar9finger

Still wrong even if people say "at" rather than "in". Because it's at only 19 hours into the day not 1900 hours into the day. And those 00 numbers are counting sixtieths of an hour not hundredths of an hour. (No such time as 1961 but there would be if those two digits were really hundredths.) The American military basically pronounces it as if it was a decimal number when it isn't.

Like metric, the US needs to get on the 24-clock. It's so simple and prevents so many mistakes. Come on USA, lets do this!

​​@@alanwhiplington5504It's wrong to pronounce it that way for two reasons: calling it that many hours is wrong when the least significant numbers in the "integer" are minutes not hours, and there aren't even 100 of them in an hour anyway. (No such time as "at 1962 hours" because the "62" is not possible because those are not hundredths they're sixtieths. Thus the colon in "19:00" isn't optional it's needed to make it clear this is not a decimal number. Thus why people used to the 24 hour clock outside the US military say it as two distinct numbers the same as you do with a 12 hour clock, where 19:30 would be "at nineteen thirty" never "at nineteen hundred thirty". You're quibbling over "at" versus "in" when that's not the actual problem here. "At 1900 hours" instead of "in 1900 hours" just changes the meaning from "19 hundred hours from now" into "at the 19 hundred hour mark, when it has been that many hours into day, since midnight" which is still wrong. This isn't a grammar problem, it's a semantic problem. The phrasing of calling those digits hundreds of anything is semantically wrong. And calling them hundreds of *hours* is doubly wrong. Those last two digits are minutes not hours and there's only 60 of them not 100.

Doesn’t the military say « x hundred » without saying « hours » after?

24 hour clock is the only way and US way to write dates in format year-month-day is the best in digital fromat because it orders the right way automatically. These should be standard. And btw kilometers and celcius should an international standard too.
