I agree, it's cute and fun the way it is.

And it's not military time, it's just plain time, and there's nothing L337 about it. I do pretty much everything by 24-hour time, and it makes perfect sense for things like work time sheets to be in 24-hour notation. And of course the military uses it; it's unambiguous. AM/PM is silly.

Fixed the small issue that it was having with the moving thing with the numbers. Didn't realize at first that it was doing it until Kimiko pointed it out with the monospace thing (*hissssss*).

I don't care about the different time notations. I'm so use to both that military time only takes me a half second to go "oh, ok". It really just doesn't bug me and I do prefer military time myself. It just makes more sense and is less confusing when someone writes out 12:00 "... was that AM or PM ... AM? You do realize that is midnight, right? Yes, yes it is. Yes, I'm sure it is. YES IT IS!! ..... *sigh* Fine, have it your way, I don't care anymore. It's your noon, then." <--- I have had these conversations.

Arrgh. We should open up a topic about how much L337 sucks. SERIOUSLY! D:<

I don't have a problem with either the am/pm system or 24-hour time. Both are simply arbitrary means of measurement that break the observable world down into human-graspable concepts. And people get way too attached to them.

I prefer regular (for me) am/pm time keeping, but this is because I am used to it. Likewise I prefer Imperial measurements despite them making absolutely no sense. I can immediately understand what gallon is, or a foot, but a meter? 32cm? 55km/h? No fucking idea. Sure it'd be nice if we used metric, but Americans don't, and I have a hard enough time already with spatial order.

But if there was a vote to adopt metric, I'd do so in a heartbeat. I'd also nominate changing Monday to the first day of the week and Sunday the last.

Oh.

I like the counter girl.

Metric is good for science. Powers of ten are delicious.

Outside of that, it doesn't matter.
