Heh, well, my husband, also an American (but educated in Hong Kong) likes
to ask people how much things are in "real" measurements whenever they use
US-only standards.

So I use a weird mix of ISO date and US time.

My cat is trying to think of a way of expressing time in international
feline standards. When he manages to pound out anything cohesive, I'll
help him implement it.
