That, and you're stuck using the ridiculous (to me) "1.4 hours" nonsense.
Why don't we just use "1:24", like the rest of the civilized world?


Why doesn't the civilized world give up the 1:24 nonsense, and go with 1.4?

Now if we had an extra finger on each hand, I'd differ. Base 12 is really a
great base - most fractions are nice fractions. Base ten has only one nice
fraction.
