Sure - I'm sure Uno wouldn't mind; he's told me to go ahead and edit poll options before...

I didn't know if you had that option.

Apparently I can.

I added a few choices, gave everyone a maximum of 6 votes, and let them change their votes (since there are more options now).

Stopped wearing a watch 25-30 years ago when I was doing and teaching concrete flatwork. 

I prefer digital alarm clocks as when I am half asleep (about 1 time a month, other 29 odd times a month I get up before the alarm) I don't want to think, just know the time.

Otherwise, I prefer hands.

Often, though, I find when typing up a report that has to have times in it (not too often now a days), I go to 24 hour as it avoids confusion.

My hands clock has no numerals. I'm not sure if I've noticed that before or not.

24 hours for me. Though when I talk with other people, I still use 12 hour time. It sounds really unnatural for me to say, "let's meet at thirteen thirty"

The concept of time remains an important social construct, and I prefer a simple alarm clock at best. I tend to avoid clocks otherwise.

Mankind has been blind for thousands of years?for all of its history. We have come to a place whose wonders are a hundred-fold more amazing than anything on Earth. Around us is clear evidence of the will of a higher power. I bring the Vision to the blind eyes of men. I bring the Word to the deaf ears of men. I will make them see it. I will make them hear it.
