    AM/PM
    24hr - Got into the habit of using it when I used to be working rotating day/night shifts, and I'd wake up at 6 (especially in wintertime) and wouldn't have a notion if it was morning or night.......

    I'm only messing. Letting on it's something I'm really passionate about, but I don't think anyone could be capable of being against what way someone views the time. That's just silly. :p
    I imagine the rest our doing something similar.

    ...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

    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
