24 hour time

[gfish]

I've been using 24 hour time almost exclusively for several years now. The switch was a no-brainer for me -- tacking on AM or PM is silly, and the math is easier this way. However, I wasn't raised with it, and of course I'm surrounded by less enlightened systems, so to my great shame I still find myself regularly thinking in 12 hour time.

I was just working on someone else's computer, when I glanced at the clock. It read 2:50, and I was momentarily confused at it suddenly being late at night. Woot! About time I started to internalize this. Now to stop thinking of pressure as PSI...

I'm actually most comfortable with kPa for pressure, although I'll admit to being fond of atm on rare occasions. I blame chemistry class for both of those, though.

I'm doing okay with 24 hour time (although it's not terribly internal yet). My big stumbling block is thinking about day-to-day temperatures in celsius. I've got this big mental division where celsius/kelvin are for science and fahrenheit is for everything else.
