The english way of telling time is stupid. In german we numerate from 0 to 24 for the whole day. 0 and 24 both mean midnight, but other then that its always clear what time you mean. In practice you can still say 4 to 4pm and everybody will understand you. But if you dont have context or want to be clear what you mean the other system is way better.
