24 hour time is not that hard Frank 😛
First of all most clocks these days are digital, and will display 24 hour time if configured to do so. Secondly if you are ever confused by a time greater than 12 just subtract 12 from the hour value. So 22:00 – 12 = 10 PM 13:00 – 12 is 1 PM etc.
Yes we still colloquially say “6 in the evening” or whatever when talking often, but in writing it’s more precise to just write 19:00 instead of “7 in the afternoon” (the AM/PM abbreviations are not used in other languages, and it took me a long time to remember which means what since it’s not even English but Latin).
