[USMA:37238] 24-hour time format

[Paul Trusten, R.Ph.]

Like a standard of measurement, an "algebraic" (24-hour) time format helps 
prevent errors. Over the past year, I have known two people personally who 
have overslept and been late for work because they set their alarm clocks to 
the wrong "meridiem" (AM, PM; one of these errors occurred this week, with a 
co-worker who was supposed to relieve me).  I haven't made this mistake in a 
long time, but I probably will in the future. So, I am still seeking an 
ordinary bedside alarm clock-radio that can be set to 24-hour time format 
and also uses U.S. electric current.
