I though that ”/” was the US standard… Here (Sweden) we follow the
ISO8601, except for time. Seems like we use dots instead of colons.
Wish we and the rest of the world could just adapt the ISO 8601. There
is a reason for why it was created… And personally I use it all the
time. And of course every ”dygn” (sorry, there is no English
translation for that word – yet…) is 24 hours, so why that silly 12
hour thing? If all analogue watches were made 24 hours, you could very
easily also use it as a compass, at least when you can see the sun (if
the hour hand point to the sun, then 24, or rather 0, will point to
north, 6 to east, 12 to south and 18 to west). How can it be easier
than that?
