This should probably be a per-user setting so that they don't have to select
it every time they write a post.  Also, it'd be better to handle it in PHP
than JS.  MySQL understands both time formats without problem.

Sure, most people probably can, but it's not as easy for some perfectly
intelligent people as it is for others.  For some, it'd be easier to use a
calculator than to do it in their head.
