Never seen that spoken myself. Do yo have any examples? I’m genuinely curious
Comment on Military Time vs 24hr?
Maven@lemmy.sdf.org 8 months agoYou’re not supposed to say “we meet at fifteen thirty”, you just say half past three or, in non-English languages sometimes “three in the afternoon”.
Uh, why not? Absolutely you can say “half past 15 hours”, and plenty of places do.

I have all my clocks and watches set to 24h like a normal person and I've never heard a human being say that out loud or said it myself.
Outside of American movies featuring the military, I suppose, which answers the OP's question.
