Why not just use a 24 hour clock, like military time? I understand what am and pm mean, but why did we even start, why haven’t we switched so there’s never confusion?
In:
We split the day originally because we lived our lives mostly in the daylight. It was convenient to mark time from sunrise to mid-day and then from mid-day to sunset.
We haven’t changed to a 24 hour clock because we’re used to the 12 hour clock, as cumbersome as it is.
I personally use a 24 hour clock.
