The only time it gets a bit confusing is when I’m scheduling a call with someone in a drastically different time zone, but even then it’s just an extra question to clarify.
Not usually. The confusion only tends to come up if someone has a particularly odd schedule.
For example, for a while in college, I was regularly going to bed around 8 or 9 AM (I was doing some owl research). If I said “I went to bed at 9,” that might cause some confusion since 9 PM is a reasonable bedtime for a lot of people. But, since I was aware of the potential confusion, I was sure to affix the “AM” to my statement and avoid any confusion.
Only when I wake up at say 8pm in the summer and think I’m super late for work because it’s still light out. For context I work 4am to 4 pm. Most night I’m in bed by 630 pm at the latest.
Maybe a small handful of times in my life. I really do not understand why the 24-hour clock world thinks dividing the clock in half turns life into instant chaos without resolution.

Not really. One’s breakfast and the other’s dinner.
No. Context always guides you. No one is going to breakfast at 6pm or to the club at 10am
no. its pretty easy
Never ever. You’d have to be profoundly dumb to do so.

Never.
no, i use the 24hr clock (by choice).
Not always, as others said: context is King. But work uses 24h time so that can throw me off
I started using the 24 hour clock when I started working with overseas teams
How?
No.
No, though I prefer 24-hour time anyway.

No. Why would we?
