Time zones and their problems

[Ghost_msl]

OK - there are always a BUNCH of questions regarding time zone differences and to me at least the whole AM/PM thing just adds to the confusion.

Could you change/add 24 hour time notations to the Tennocon time plan?

The 24 notation has none of the ambiguity of the AM/PM one.

I guess that's why for Tennocon there's a live countdown that shows you until when the stream actually starts. 

Maybe 24hour time will help, but I bet there'll still be confusion with the timezone translation, despite format.

Or just learn to translate the 2 back and forth kind of like having to learn between metric and imperial measurements.

1 PM starts off at 13:00 which is clearly after 12PM/12:00 and you just go from there. Really easy to figure that out from there. Eventually you'll get it down to memory, or you can get something on your phone that'll do it for you. Like 2 different clocks.

if the time ends in pm, then just add 12 to the hour, and you'll get your military time equivalent

You can set multiple clocks on your computer as well.

I've been using this for a few years for Warframe and Fortnite (and anything ET based).

Am\pm is not ambiguous. A day has 24 hours but the clock only goes up to 12 so has to rotate twice. The first rotation is called "am", the second rotation is called "pm". There, mystery solved.
