In spoken language, I use the 12 hours system.
In writing, I use the 24 hours system as it's the one least prone to confusion.
And I write it like this:
7h30 - this is 7:30 am
22h15 - this is 10:15 pm
Losty, you're thinking sort of makes sense.... it's the same sense that was used when they set that the first year of the first century was year 1, not year zero.... that's why centuries always start at the year ending in 1... 2001 was the first year in the XXI century, instead of 2000... but computers would have been hit bad on the year 2000, had the y2k bug not been solved and widely implemented by then.
However, that works well for centuries which end at the hundred mark.... days, being split in 24 hours, would make it a pain... we'd get used to it, but there would be many more people asking things to be as they are now, then people like you asking what you ask.
