Even in formal written communication, e.g. on bus/train time tables and airport tickets? I have a hard time believing that. What does "officially" mean? Does Greece have any other standard for time notation than ELOT EN 28601? Is a significant fraction of the Greek population unfamiliar with what 23:59 means? How do you write AM and PM traditionally using the Greek alphabet? Why would you want to go back to something as broken and troublesome as the 12-h time-of-day notation on a computer? Exercise: When is 12:00 AM today?
