    I like to pretend I'm an army type, so 24hr. I also say things like "click" and refer to jet fighters as platforms.

    AM/PM!

    ...It takes me longer to realise what time it is in 24Hr. Plus no one wants to say "it's twenty-five-past twenty-three o'clock". Say the time takes long enough as it is :P

    Both. My phone is 24hr. My alarm clock is am/pm.

    Alarm is one thing that needs to be 24 hour! No chance of setting wrong time (PM instead of AM)

    24 hour mostly. However neither of my alarm clocks allow that option so it's AM/PM on those. I just got into the habit of reading 24 hour, so I prefer it. I still say time out loud in twelve hour though, because it just sounds weird to say "20:40" or "16:30" or whatever it is :P

    AM PM is for simpletons!!
    This is why it is the most popular format in the US.

    Check out any AmTrak or Greyhound timetable. :p

    AM/PM's for women.

    Why? :confused:

    Is it to know the exact time when to ovulate? :o

    Ever since I got caught in AIB at 3 o'clock in the morning trying to make a withdrawal, I've used the 24 hour clock.:(

    Sounds like something I'd do (If I had money to withdraw that is) :D

    24-hour definitely - too risky when setting alarms with all that am/pm malarkey.

    24 Hour. So if I sleep into 1300, I know it's 1300, and not wondering is it just 1am or 1pm?

    You could also just look outside.
