        Guessing each time if 12 needs to be added (with usually important consequences if you guess wrong) is.

          If you need to guess to convert, wouldnt you need to guess if its AM or PM?

            Yes. You need to guess if it’s AM or PM. That’s what the comment is about.

            If whoever says the time uses 24h or explicitly says AM/PM there’s no guessing involved.

              I got confused by the message i was replying to, thinking they were saying that you have to guess to convert between the 2

                Until i saw people excluding the AM/PM. What does 6:30-2:30 mean? Are you working -4 hours? Are you working from 18:30 to 2:30 or from 6:30 to 14:30? Why do people choose this time format?

                No, this is what is confusing you. It’s like you never had any simple education, or you’re completely unaware of your surroundings.

                How is it possible to be so confused about clocks?

                  I can easily read clocks

                  I can easily understand time with AM/PM

                  People writing time without AM/PM is the part i dont understand

      Yeah my company doesn’t care when I come and go as long as I work 40 hours and don’t miss meetings. 4 day workweeks are generally frowned upon but you can do it now and then.
