I find this post to be very offensive.
Anyways, your run-of-the-mill American will only really know the 12-hour clock and it's generally those who are in the military/paramilitary (police, etc) or are in corporate america who know the 24-hour clock.
A lot of people generally know both to make things easier. The 12-hour clock is slowly but surely getting phased out.
Yeah. I'm an admin. What of it?
