Submits

It says: "Late"

Utter Confusion

Glances at deadline

"Due at 11:59 AM"

(Reason why 24 hour format is superior)

I'm personally a fan of the 12 hour format for casual conversation and 24h for anything else. 4 PM or 4 in the afternoon sounds better than 16:00 for casual speak imo.

But man, I'm bad with the 24h format lol. I often need to consciously correct myself in that 18:00 =/= 8 PM.

Frankly you don't even need to use AM/PM for casual conversation... "I'll see you at four" almost certainly doesn't mean 4am unless it's very clear from contextual information, same for verbally booking appointments

It's just things like travel timings etc which are likely going to be written anyway where you actually need that clarification
