Why is it that Americans refer to 24 hour time as military time? I understand that the military uses the 24hr format but I don’t understand why the general public would refer to it like that?

It makes it seem like it’s a foreign concept where as in a lot of countries it’s the norm.

      Probably Sectograph. I’ve used it for a couple years and I like it a lot. You can even have it on your smart watch.

        Yep, Sectograph, it has some annoyances, but generally very good. I never understood the flags and why it would use them instead of a pie piece for longer events. I wanted to get a big circular led display and make a sectograph wall clock, but the prices for circular led screens scared me off before I got started.
