how does one pronounce 24-hour times like 00:00

@kemona_halftau@sharkey.skydevs.me i would just say 'midnight' too hard basket otherwise

@kemona_halftau in the uk we use 24-hour time but everyone reads it as 12-hour time

@kemona_halftau like i read 15:45 as just “three forty five”

@kemona_halftau

as someone who lives in country which prefers 24-hour time format

people say something which can be translated as “12 pm” or, if translated literally “12 of night”

newer generations might just say “zero zero zero zero” or “exactly zero”

@kemona_halftau that one is either 0 oclock or 0 hours. I tend to use the hour hand and oclock for :00 times, suffixing with AM for 0 ≤ h < 12. I do not say "zero one" for "01", expecting that to be implied. #lang_en

@kemona_halftau "zero zero zero zero" or "zero o'clock" or "midnight"
