Learning to tell the other time

For a few months I have been making a very direct effort to learn to tell time.

No silly.  “Military time” or time using a 24 hour clock.  Up until now when someone has listed 17:25 as a time I have had to think hard about what time that is.  Well, just now I had a moment when I was sending a text to our driver and I started to write 4:45 but knew I should use military time with him and changed it to 16:45 without even having to think about it.

This bit of learning is along the lines of me learning the metric system via immersion.  Which has been going well.  I can think more in liters and kilometers.  I still struggle with my height or weight and trying to use meters and centimeters for lengths though.
