    In my country it’s normal to pronounce time in either format, and it doesn’t make any confusion.

    Also we don’t use AM or PM when using 12-hour format: we say night/morning/day/evening. Like “3 in the day” means 3PM, or 15:00.

    “Fifteen-o-o” works just fine as well.

      In America you’ll hear “It’s three in the morning” or “It’s four in the afternoon.”

          If you said “three at night” to an American, I think he’d have to process it for a minute. You’d say it’s _ in the morning from like 12:30AM through noon, _ in the afternoon from noon to about 6 or 7, then _ at night/evening from then till midnight.

            12:30AM is something that completely breaks my mind :D

            We’re talking 00:30, right? And what if there is 0:15, for example?
