As a European, I hope you in the US use your colon too - how does digestion work otherwise?! /s 😂
Joking aside, you’re exactly right. Except (most parts) of the UK, Europe mostly uses a 24-hour system for our time telling needs. I personally think that’s a bit more intuitive on digital clocks, but even some analog clocks over here reflect this by having their 24h equivalent either above or below the number in the 12h circle. We also seem to have fewer time zones: essentially PorkButtsNTaters666, djundjila and me share the same time zone despite living in different countries.
ENBF sounds about as interesting as a 7 hour long slideshow about the cultivation of potatoes in Prussia, but the “++” stuff stuck around and I don’t mind it at all. I thought it was just something from ProgrammerHumor though, since C++ is a programming language.

++and--are increment and decrement short-hand operators in C-style programming languages.In other words, they either mean add 1 to this value (
++), or subtract 1 from this value (--).Thanks! I think that makes perfect sense.
