    Outside of the workplace, the 12-hour clock is definitely more common.

    Such as "Meet me for lunch at 12 PM" or "Let's go to the movies at 8 PM" or "I woke up at 9:30 AM".

    Inside the workplace, it depends.

Trees also stand aside due to my chainsaw blood.

    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?

    North America uses am/pm to tell time since the clock only goes through 12 and starts back at 1. And it is not just the "USA" that uses the 12 hour clock system. The military, aviation, navigation, meteorology, astronomy, computing, logistics, emergency services, and hospital services use 24 hour time because they want to avoid conflict in paperwork as far as someone writing "this person had this at 4." Well really wtf does that mean? So to avoid confusion and potential lawsuits and other problems they would say 1600 and it would be obvious it happened at 4pm in the afternoon.
