  1. People talk in the 12 hour system, but most things like signs, movie listings, time & temp signs and store hours are listed in the 24hr system. This is because they don't use the am/pm abbreviations like we do.  So you would SEE the 24hrs, but still talk in 12hr. Ex: Movie listing says a movie starts at 22:15, but you still tell your amigo that it's 10:15 at night.


  2. The 24 hour clock is almost universal in Europe.
