The thing is that there are two reasons to talk times. Either you want to know if it's light or dark, and then "night", "morning" etc are very descriptive, and much more descriptive than numbers. After all, it can be dark here at 4 pm or it can be bright and 9 pm. If you care about what the sun is doing, use words for that.

On the other hand, if you want to find a time to do something, to synchronize something, having the same numbers everywhere would make things way easier.

While we're on the topic of time, can anyone tell me what the 'AM' and 'PM' stand for WITHOUT looking it up? ::)

Ante Meridian and Post Meridian - before and after the middle, aka, midday.

[13:42:03]<@TehUser> I wasn't asking for wang pictures, I was looking at them.
