Anyone who works an office job should be able to set their own hours. I choose 6:30-2:30. I can still hit up local shops after. My colleague chooses 10-8 and shops before work. There's no reason we can't make this work.

For a lot of time, i thought the 12 hour clock was not that bad

Until i saw people excluding the AM/PM. What does 6:30-2:30 mean? Are you working -4 hours? Are you working from 18:30 to 2:30 or from 6:30 to 14:30? Why do people choose this time format?

Do all Europeans choose to purposefully misinterpret information that is actually very easy to understand based on context?

I think it's worse that someone from programming.dev doesn't understand time.

The meaning is clear in this context, but not all of them. Especially when instead of a range of hours it is a single one.

Although it is possible to determine they "probably meant this one", why would you waste your time guessing based on context and risk being wrong when you can just use 24h and be precise.
