WTF is 'military time'?

1 comments

Errrrm....

That's an ordinary 24 hour clock. Rather bizarre to call it "Military" time.

military time is spoken in hundreds and doesn't use colon, while regular 24hr time is spoken in dozens and use colon

Military 1400 - fourteen hundred 1430 - fourteen hundred thirty

Standard 24h 14:00 - fourteen hours 14:30 - fourteen thirty

But I am not native English speaker and this is only my understanding from what I observed about military time vs 24 hours time and I may be wrong, someone please correct me.
