See title.

I only ever spoke of 1500 as 3pm when I was in school, or talking to friends. I was raised this way. Was any other American or Canadian raised like this? I know in Europe its pretty standard, which is probably why I was raised with it. When people see my phone they legit trip out that it says 20:22 or whatever.

I’d say that’s unusual. 99% of Canadians in my experience have no idea how to read military time

Yeah my family sets all of their clocks to military time cause they're european.

It's honestly way easier to read but because everything is communicated in AM/PM and my watch is quartz I still read time like that.

Didn't use it till I started working in the medical field. Now, I use it all the time.
