Why is it that Americans refer to 24 hour time as military time? I understand that the military uses the 24hr format but I don’t understand why the general public would refer to it like that?
It makes it seem like it’s a foreign concept where as in a lot of countries it’s the norm.
You mean freedom minutes, right??
Sorry, you’re right. And stars and stripes minutes
The freedom clock, where hours are called “freedoms”, minutes are called “stars” and seconds are called “stripes”.
