The only reason Americans prefer AM/PM to "military time" is because they find it hard to count to 24 so they stop at 12 and start again amirite?

It's just easier...and we're not stupid =/

I don't find counting to 24 hard at all, and we're not all stupid. Just a select few of us.

People in other countries do it as well, it's not just us.

Sometimes when it gets to be 9, I panic because the double digits are so confusing :/

I'm American and have all my clocks set to military time...thanks

Same here. My watch is set to military time and I always tell people what time it is in military time. It's really not that hard to use.

I've never heard of anywhere that they use military time on a daily basis. And don't bash Americans. America has no more unintelligent people than any other country, and most of us are smart and sucessful.

Or perhaps they just like an excuse to incorporate Latin into their time system. :)

I'm American and I voted yes. It's not true, but I found it kind of funny.

I'm American and I hate the military time system. Why? It's not because I'm stupid, but because the 12 hour system is a bit easier. It's not because I'm lazy either, because when you're in a rush, using the 12 hour system is just easier. There's nothing wrong with it.

You're so right! Us Americans are too busy eating to remember what comes after twelve.... Note the sarcasm, dick.
