Correct way to write 24 hour-time? Decimalpoint too.

[T Wake]

Hi Alex_Coleman,

For myself, I write 18 hours 16 minutes after midnight as 6.16 P.
If it was something that happened 18 hours 16 minutes ago,
I write it as .761 days... ( 18 + 16 / 60 ) / 24 .

But, as you are insane, you don't count. I am sure _you_ find it easier to
write .761 days than 18 hours, 16 mins but I doubt even you would find it
easier to think and communicate to others in that manner. ("I will meet you
in .761 days" is just insane)

 

[krw]

We should all change to UTC 24h clock.
And drop the anual time shifts for summer and winter time.
You would get used to it fast.....

....and throw away 6B biological clocks?

Earth is only so big.

Bit it's sooo round and only half of it lit up.

5 levels deep, weighted by level, as shown in the Far_Left number.

Lines beginning with _>_ don't count, deeper quotes, > >, count negatively
because they're chatting instead of taking the time to paraphrase.

Replyless articles get increasingly negative scores, based on their age.
Titles that begin with _Re_ get -100,000.

-G means _No_ Google record.
Only the last 5 Message-IDs in the _References_ header
of the last 3,000 posts were considered replies.
_No_ other deletions or retentions biased this analysis.

Hi T_Wake, Alt.Astronomy's _X_Report_, generated by the newsreader I
wrote,
is an example of how I indicate time... for me and only me,

Good for you. Its still crappy and slightly insane.Stop cross posting to
groups that really aren't interested in you (which would mean pretty much
all of USENET but you _still_ refuse to get a blog)

Are you rich yet?

Did you resolve your confusion over the spatial dimensions and my being an
accountant?

 

[daestrom]

Yes that is the problem, I have a little program 'kworldwatch' (Linux)
that displays a worldmap and shows where it is still light.
A watch with a function like that (when all is UTC) would make sense.

OTOH when you call your boss from the 'other side', you get a tape
that says: 'office hours from ww:xxh to yy:zzh', or he will use some
sleepy bad language, or he will be happy with the new contract.

So someone in Sydney might have office hours of 00:00h to 08:00h UTC and in
London 08:00h to 16:00h UTC and NY office hours would be 13:00h to 21:00h
UTC. How is that less confusing??

But in case of 'events' (phone conferences for example, meetings, etc..)
it would make a lot of sense.
And that annoying updating the watch on the plane stuff would be gone.

Okay, then when you land, the first thing you ask at the airport is, "What
time to people here eat their noon meal, and when is 'normal' working
hours?". The answer might be, "We tend to eat lunch about 20:00 and the
bank is open from 17:00 to 01:00."

Yeah, that's a *lot* more convenient than resetting your watch..... *NOT*

daestrom

 

[T Wake]

You have not travelled a lot right?
I have, and opining times, special holidays, local ways of doing things
differ a LOT all over the world.
And if you have a problem with day and night, there is this big nuclear
powered indicator light in the sky.

Your solution doesn't solve any of those problems though. When communicating
between time zones, the sun is a poor indicator of who is working when etc.

 

[Starman]

the correct answer would be 18:11

[Starman]

the correct answer would be 18:11

http://www.klokken.dk/

(1) I see several worthy attempts to write the time in a 24-hour
format. Does a definitive format exist?

I want to leave out the seconds. Also note that I am NOT referring
to computer conventions of any sort.

QUESTION: If it is 11 minutes past six in the evening then what is
the correct format?

1816 hrs
18:16 hrs
18:16 hours
18:16 h
18:16
18.16
18-16

Does it vary between being written by a word processor and by hand?
See below.

(2) What is the correct way to write a decimal point? I am English
and that means that a comma is not the correct symbol for the decomal
point.

But ISTR that when the decimal point was written by hand it was in
the air about half the height of the digits. Typewriters and word
prorcessors did not offer that half-way character so a full stop was
used. But is it more correct to handwrite the decimal point as half
way up the height of the digits?

"snarest" is probably double dutch for "asap" and means
Soon
Now,
Any
Realistic
Estimate (of)
Snafu
Time? -- SNAREST.
The kids in the back seat say "Are we there yet, are we there yet?"
and dad says "snarest".

I suspect "op" is "up", possibly mistranslated by
Unicode (UTF-7 or UTF-8) or Windows (ISO)

The Yanks like a Danish. All their food seems to come from somewhere
else for some reason. Danish pastries, English muffins, Italian bread,
German sausage, Swiss cheese, Scotch whisky....although bagels seem
to be just bagels and pizza is just pizza. Even their courgettes are
zuccini.
It's kosher, though.
