Is it possible to make Adium use military time?

Adium will honor the settings on your System Preferences, so the answer is yes.

It is indeed.

It's the 24 hour clock.

Is that military?

I always thought it to be the clock everyone apart from Americans use.

Americans call it military time generally.

Wow. I am an idiot. It seems I only changed the viewing options for the menu bar clock without actually changing how the system keeps track of time.

And yeah, in the US, only the military uses twenty-four hour time.

I'd say that the American military must be the only sensible people in your country. But, well...

Take that how you will

24 hour time just makes so much more sense its ridiculous.

Here's one American who doesn't use AM/PM

Exactly. It's a shame there aren't more of us. I know a person who is convinced that it is silly to use twenty-four hour time because she can "look outside to see if it's night or not." That's pure genius.

But what if you are in a room without a window or door?

Then I think you have more pressing issues to worry about than whether it's day or night. Hehe.

All this over time? And you call us unsenable?

time is one of, if not the most important things in our society. a lot of things would certainly be differnt, so dont you bad mouth it.

Hospitals also use it.

Time is arbitrary.
