q: change clock to 12-hour mode?

[Donald Lamond]

When Canada went metric, I got so tired of saying, " Whats that in miles
b'y?" that I headed for the States.  If you want to stay home, the mental
conversion from a 24 hour clock to a 12 hour should be no more of a problem
than changing a channel on the tube.  Try to keep in mind that there are
people who function quite well on the 24 hr. clock system.

Come to think of it, isn't that the way it works?

Don't we have 24 hours to a day.

Where did this 12 hour idea come from?

Probably from the Maritimes.
