I realize that a lot of countries use the 24 hr format instead of the 12
hr AM/PM format as well as the metric system.
I was for the metric system and phonics back in the school days but
became accustomed to the other US hold-outs and am used to the 12 HR format.
Really the only choices with the language problem is for Unix and
Internet time, which I have no idea of the value. There was no choice
for 12 or 24 hr format as is the normal setup for selecting time.
Through the configuration editor all the choices had a schema error and
it is not possible to even change the settings there.
Sorry for the insulting tone of the message. 24 hr, Unix and Internet
time might have functional value. I just prefer the customary 12 hour
AM/PM format.
