    16 hours is mostly an American military way to say it. 16 on the clock (or similar for different languages) is the main European way to say it.

      Well, we’d say 4 o clock… But that’s English too. Have considered how the rest of Europe says it?

        I have to confess that I do not know how every European language says it, but I do know that both German and Danish say and write the equivalent of “o’ clock/on the clock”, eg. “Klokken, Uhr”.

        The only time I’ve seen “x hours” used, is either in programming, that abomination that is “military time”, or when defining time from now, eg. “Let’s meet in 4 hours, at 20 on the clock”.
