Hi,

Why do you want the 24 hour clock for UK/US users? Is it just for the
clock application or do you equally strongly need to have 24 hour clock
when file manager shows file timestaps or email shows the received
time(date) field, etc.?

I'd like 24-hour clock everywhere - as it currently is on my phone, my
laptops, my desktops, my servers....

If you are running the UI in English but living in e.g. Germany you
could also just go to the Control Panel, launch "Language and region"
applet, set your UI to English, your regional settings to Deutchland and
off you go.

I'm living in Australia.

I'm not going to set my regional settings to Deutschland because
having a , where I expect a . confuses me.

Do you have a solution for me?

I do not see this as something that would be high enough on our agenda
right now.

I don't see why this hasn't been done already. It's been done on
everything else I own, even my phones.

Perhaps it would help if you could give us some background on why you
feel this is such a hard problem to solve. It sounds as though there's
been plenty of internal discussion about this - perhaps if we
understood the background we'd be less upset, or perhaps even able to
offer some solutions.
