Seconds are SI, I believe, and it makes perfect sense to talk milliseconds, kiloseconds, etc.

    If someone gives me instructions in kiloseconds, I'm stabbing them.

    Hah, no doubt. But it can make sense in some contexts. I wouldn't mind using it for daily use personally, it's about 15 minutes.

    The 24 hour clock is fine but it's much easier to do integer math with seconds.
