Among the UHH members who started out using manual mode either by choice or because that was the only mode that was available at the time. How long did it take you to learn how to use it?
Among those who started out with one of the auto mode (full Auto, P, A or S) how long did it take you to learn how to use the camera in manual?
I am not Chris T but I can still ask survey question can I?

Probably about an hour. I had read several books and understood the exposure triangle and depth of field. So when I got a film SLR you could SEE the effects of focal length, depth of field ect in the viewfinder. Now with digital you can add a third "auto" function ISO. The first day with my D750 I tried AUTO, A, M, S, P and several "scene" modes. I read the manual too! I shoot A for macro and depth of field control, S for action and BIF. Manual when time and conditions permit like fireworks and landscapes, Full Auto sometimes when on the go. Scene modes if I think it will work better in certain situations like sunsets or beach/snow. Don't limit yourself. Use all the tools the manufacturer built in if they work for you! I always shoot RAW+Jpg also.
