 A recent thread on the wp dev mailing list brought up the fact that some
 people have a hard time understanding 24-hour time and so are confused by
 the editor's usage of a 24-hour clock when modifying a post's or page's
 timestamp.

 One potential solution for this issue is to make a profile options which
 lets a user change the way the editor displays its timestamp.

 If this option is set to 24-hour, then the editor behaves as it does now,
 displaying the timestamp in 24 hour time e.g. 17:43. This option is the
 default in all cases.

 If this option is set to 12-hour, then the editor displays the timestamp
 in 12 hour time e.g. 5:43pm. The user can then change the time and the
 meridiem (am/pm) using a dropdown box.

 All internal representations of a post or page timestamp remain unchanged.
 Only the display of the timestamp is changed if the user chooses 12-hour
 time. In this case, code in post.php converts the time back to a 24-hour
 representation before committing the change to the db.
