CLI's expected 24-hour format is unclear #65

Description

@BenDMyers

When you generate an event using the CLI, the following prompt asks you to provide a start time:

What hh or hh:mm (10 or 10:30)?

This prompt is expecting a time in a 24-hour clock format, but it doesn't make that clear. This hasn't been an issue for our PST and CST friends, who have usually entered "10:00" and "12:00" respectively. However, when our EST friends enter "1:00," they're providing 1:00 am.

We should make this experience a little clearer. There are a couple ways I could see us doing this.

  • Including a note in the prompt that specifies the format should use a 24-hour clock
  • Giving the user a radio prompt to select AM or PM
  • Having the user type "am" or "pm" when entering a time (would also need to be mentioned in the prompt)

I'm fine with any of these approaches - if you pick this up, choose your favorite approach.
