Thread: Tell me why this wouldn't work.

A. Universal is a big word,it means "all across the universe" which does not work...you should use the word global
B. In my normal life i dont even use AM PM -> 24 hour day
C. It would confuse the entire world because 09:45 isnt morning anymore everywhere,its then also afternoon and midnight and so on

Then would you like me to tell you why I think this, again?

Yes!

I assumed that was given.

Then what time do you use, Military?

So the problem isn't with universal time itself, it's with how its presented.
How about 13 o'clock untill 24 'o'clock and then start over at one as usual?
Or if 13 o'clock sounds too funny, then what would you suggest?

Yes!

Your internal clock is set by the schedual of our sun, that's how.

Well 99% of the people here in germany use the 24 hour format
My favourite shows usually start at 15 o'clock and some at 20...
Every opening time,every tv programm,every schedule,even roadsigns are in this format here

Just because you americans can't get over the fact that something outside the US exists (Sorry but honestly,as if the 24 hour format is such a novelty)

Also its not military,even my 10 year old niece says that

Sounds efficient. So if the world used this time keeping, it would be universal.
Universal time solved. Which one you want to iron out next?
