Comment 3 for bug 593592

<facepalm> of course.
back to the am/pm business. still would love to get a normal 24h, but after reading the linked bug report it looks like this was never intended.

"I do not see the point in having [...] a 24 hr digital clock with a 12 hr analog."

Well, you might not, but this is basically the layout everyone living in a country using the 24 hours format expects.

Even though Wikipedia claims that "In the 20th century, the 24 hour analog dial was adopted by radio amateurs, pilots, submariners, and for military use." That may well be right.
