Some people complained about Zod using earth time above.
I have no problem with him saying "24 hours". If he has mastered things about earth enough to broadcast in their own language a massive broadcast to the entire earth, I have no problem with him knowing about hours. If he can speak in English, he can use English terms.
I do see a bigger problem with his back dating his search for 33 years. There I think it is part of their deliberate analogies to Christ dying at 33. Persoanlly, I think that was a bit much. I liked the scene in the Church and thought it was well done, although I did not figure out if the pastor was supposed to have a connection with the flashback of Clark and the bullies or not. I am not sure if it was even clear if the pastor already knew Clark and if the Church was in Smallville or where.
However, I thought their harping on 33 was over much. Especially since neither case did it make sense. Zob may know what our years are, but back-dating his time frame seems a bit much, unless Krypton years are the same, which considering that Kryptonians and humans looks the same, might not require much suspension of disbelief.
On the other hand, Clark saying he lived in Kansas for 33 years was overly precise. Even if he had said "I started living in Kansas over 30 years ago", while some of the gripes about revealing Kansas would still apply, at least he would be trying to be a bit vague. He did not need to be that precise.
