AM/PM

I had the lovely experience of a dead battery the other day.  Yesterday, as I was driving through the frustrating early rush hour traffic, I noticed that I still hadn't reset my clock.

As I pressed the button to scroll through the hours and minutes, I wondered:

Why do car clocks have AM/PM settings?

Isn't is obviously what time of day it is?

Do you need a machine to tell you that it's 4 in the afternoon and not 4 in the morning?

Perhaps in Alaska.

Just something that we take for granted, I guess.

Of course, I prefer the 24 hour clock- you always know what time it is.
