Canada, UK and USA aren’t, at least not in colloquial language. That’s what I mean. You post something in english and always meet someone from some anglophone country doing it differently. So I stopped caring.
So what’s wrong with kg for weighing things, st & lb for people, miles for driving distance, metres for building things, C for temperature and feet for ascent of hills and stuff? That’s what a 70’s born UK kid thinks like. So 16:15 is said out loud, quarter past four, maybe rarely 1615, but never 16 o’clock and? No. O’clock is only on the hour. If it’s got bits on the end you say everything except the ‘o’clock’ But I love what you’ve done with ‘half-four’ to mean 3.30. I really enjoy doing that with my German colleagues.
What’s right about it?
That’s not exclusively german though as germanic languages in general and some slavic languages use this format.
