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.

Ok, then why blame us? "Oh no. Someone put up a sign for burgers and when I went inside, they had burgers! Im going to blame them!"
