I'm amazed that there are people who can work 9-5 jobs. That's when I sleep, dude.

@redenchilada You sleep from 21:00 till 05:00 ?
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 11:57:39 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker no, 09:00 till 17:00
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 11:58:34 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg You sleep during the day ?

@critialcloudkicker (my sleep schedule emigrated to Australia)
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 11:59:20 UTC from web-
@redenchilada Oh... I woke up with the Brazillians today, I think

@critialcloudkicker I'm literally saying what Red just told you since you weren't understanding.
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 12:00:38 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg Well, sleeping at night would make the most sense... Also a 12 hour system sucks...
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 12:02:54 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker Not everyone's sleep schedule is based at night.
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 12:04:31 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg There is a vast difference between "most sense" and "all sense" and "what happens" ... but point taken :)

@critialcloudkicker Also it's not that hard to put an a or p at the end.
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 12:04:41 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg What would that imply ?
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 12:05:28 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker 10a (10am) = 10:00; 10p (10pm) = 22:00
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 12:06:42 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg OHH... So a ( am ) means... after midday and p ( pm ) means past midday ? ... Wait that does not make sense
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 17:03:33 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker How does it not make sense?
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 17:07:41 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg after and past... kinda mean the same thing ?
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 17:08:40 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker That's not what AM and PM mean.
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 17:09:51 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg So what do they mean ?
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 17:10:24 UTC from web

@critialcloudkicker A.M. means Ante Meridiem which means 'before midday', while P.M. means Post Meridiem which means 'after midday'.
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 17:11:22 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg That does not sound like very Americanesque words at all... Pretty sure it is Latin... I'l just stick to a 24 hour format that makes use of numbers.
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 17:13:02 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker I never said that they were English in origin at all, due to the fact that they're Latin.
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 17:14:11 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg So why is America still using the AM PM system ? How in the world where everyone is so pro-[their own country] ( Especially America ) did a Latin wording for things win ? So that the rest of the world would have an easier time communicating ? Seems like that kinda backfired
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 17:16:27 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker ..... you should probably remember the fact that a majority words have an origin that can be rooted to Latin or another older language. You're literally making no sense whatsoever.
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 17:18:45 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg Actually the only "sense" that I was originally making was "I do not like AM and/or PM" which got woven WAY out of proportions. :) so yea :) I'll go read a 3/4 page Wikipedia page now

@flamingpandaomg You know, that did not exactly answered the question why Americans nowadays still use AM and PM as opposed to giving it a name themselves.
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 17:28:07 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker Because a majority of words are rooted in Latin or other languages. You could ask why we didn't make our own word for over half of our vocabulary if you wanted to.
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 17:29:42 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg But it is about time... You use time... all the time...
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 17:30:35 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker So? I use the word strong often and that's of Germanic origins.
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 17:31:54 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg But you do not use strong all the time
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 17:32:36 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker How do you know what words I say?
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 17:33:17 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg I know you use the word "strong" less than you point out time, or look at time. Unless if you are a strongman at a carnival... Probably...
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 17:34:32 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker Moral of the story: I don't know why and I don't care enough to look into it. It doesn't matter what we use as a system for telling time.
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 17:36:57 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg No, no it does not. It would however be interesting if we were ALL using the same system. It would keep us from these gigantuaur almost impossible to climb out of wordfalls though

@critialcloudkicker I can probably answer that. America is just too lazy to do it any other way. However, about half of the nation now is using the millitary time-reading system. (1900 = 7 pm, etc.)
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 17:18:55 UTC from web-
@arcanepony43 Wait, you call that the "millitary time-reading system" ? ... I guess that makes sense though *shrug* I guess now we have to wait till everybody asks the question "When is zero dark thirty ?" if you can answer this, you are ex-military and/or brilliant
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 17:20:54 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker that's 30 min after midnight. and yes, we call that millitary time. Mostly because thats the main time our whole millitary uses in hopes of not mixing up times.
Tuesday, 01-Oct-13 17:23:24 UTC from web-
@arcanepony43 I thought that the American military used Zulu time as main timezone so they would not get confused between mountain, east, west, and midland. Also the correctest answer to "what is zero dark thirty" would have been "the darkest time of the day"

@critialcloudkicker It's silly how it's so divided in the nation.

@redenchilada I wish I slept then. I struggle to get 8 solid hours. My body clock forces me to nod off at work most nights.
