What to do if a country uses both 24 and 12 orally?

[编辑]

In theory, there exists a continuum of degrees a population uses one or the other orally. You could divide this continuum of ambiguity e.g. into 3 groups of oral usage:

  1. Only using 12 h (unambiguously "24 hours (12 orally)")
  2. Mostly using 12 h
  3. Commonly using both
  4. Mostly using 24 h
  5. Only using 24 h (unambiguously "24 hours")

Where do we draw the line for including a country in the "24 hours (12 orally)"? Should we:

  • Also include #2 (#1, #2 are "24 hours (12 orally)"; #3, #4, #5 are "24 hours")
  • Also include #3 (#1, #2, #3 are "24 hours (12 orally)"; #4, #5 are "24 hours")
  • Also include #4 (#1, #2, #3, #4 are "24 hours (12 orally)"; #5 is "24 hours")
  • Make a new separate map or add new colors/patterns to the existing map to indicate the spoken and written dimensions independently of each other.

The practical output of this question would be (for the first three solutions) to add an extra sentence to the image's description to clarify what to include. Karland90 (留言) 13:17, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[回复]

In this map, the US is blue (12 hour clock), but this country should be green (both in common use) 83.27.133.181 17:25, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[回复]
