If you use Twitter, I IMPLORE you...please DO NOT post this photo in replies to Trump's tweets.

[Miles Archer]

I was just looking at Little Lord PissyPants' Twitter feed and some anarchist who TRULY hates America (didn't check their profile pic to see it was the ANTIFA logo) posted THIS. WHY would you want to upset the best president since Abraham Lincoln? So if you use Twitter and do see Trump's tweets, PLEASE DO NOT post this in a reply to him.

Also, if you have freedom lovin' MAGA friends, don't post it in replies to them, either!

2. Should read 12 noon. There is no 12am nor 12pm.

[GopherGal]

3. You might also add:

Noon EST

to clarify for non East-Coast residents.

[aggiesal]

14. I have never heard that before ...

12 a.m. = Midnight
12 p.m. = Noon

[mobeau69]

26. am ante-meridian, pm past-meridian.

At noon the sun is directly over the meridian. It is neither past the meridian or before (ante) the meridian.

The military uses a 24 hour clock to avoid confusion. Using noon and midnight does the same.

Years ago I read about a person who argued this in court over a no parking sign that used, in part, “12pm” and the judge agreed!

[aggiesal]

29. That's sort of a cop-out ...

Since we don't use the 24 hr. clock, we use the 12 hour clock and since we don't use 0:00 for midnight, we have to distinguish between the two 12 o'clocks.
Hence 12 a.m. & 12 p.m., which is the standard convention.

You'll never convince me otherwise.
And that judge is an idiot.

[mobeau69]

30. The 20th Amendment says noon.

[aggiesal]

38. By your statement, why didn't the constitution just use 1200 hours? ...

So they decided to use the word "noon" instead,
does not mean that 12 a.m. or 12 p.m. does not exist.

Weak argument!

46. Ante-meridian

Uncle Meridian, all the little Meridians.

Sorry, had a Johnny Dangerously moment

[mobeau69]

47. Ha! 😎

[NotANeocon]

49. Actually AM and PM are short forms of the Latin phrase

AM Ante Meridiem = Before Midday
PM Post Meridiem = after midday

Diem - day Latin

Meridiem is Midday or 12 noon

[riversedge]

50. whow. I learn something new. thanks so much for post.

[yonder]

51. "At noon the sun is directly over the meridian". Rarely, for the noon you are describing.

It would be more accurate to say at apparent solar noon the sun is directly over the meridian. This time could also be described as sundial time. This time is non-uniform because of the earth's elliptical orbit, it's inclination to the ecliptic and minor precessional movements of the earth itself. This apparent sun gains and loses time.

On the other hand, mean solar time is uniform and includes standard time, universal time and local civil time. Standard or Daylight Saving Time is the time most folks use to measure time and the noon measured by it rarely coincides with the sun being directly overhead of the observer's meridian.

[SlogginThroughIt]

25. Huh? What do you mean no 12 am or pm?

Noon is 12PM.
Midnight is 12am.

[mobeau69]

27. See 26

[A HERETIC I AM]

28. Nonsense

The second that follows 11:59:59 AM is 12:00 PM

The second that follows 11:59:59 PM is 12:00 AM

Regardless of what your other post says.

Of course there is a twelve PM.

[mobeau69]

31. See 30

[A HERETIC I AM]

32. Completely irrelevant to your statement that there is no 12 pm or am

because that statement is demonstrably false.

[mobeau69]

34. Why do you think it says noon and not 12 pm?

[GoneOffShore]

36. 00h00 and 12h00

[soldierant]

41. The convention is that 12:00 am is midnight

and that 12:00 pm is noon, and has been so my entire life, and I am 75. I've seen several attempts to change it (for example, 12:00 m and 12:00 n), all of which have failed. The convention is still the convention.

And if you set a digital clock, you will notice that "pm" shows right up on 12:00 just as you hit noon.

It's analogous to the convention that zero precedes one.

Of course in military time it's 0000 for midnight and 1200 for noon. But not that many people use that system.

[Old Crow]

43. Oh, for heaven's sake. If you're going to nitpick about this...

... most who are of a similar bent will argue you should never write "12 noon" (per your suggestion) because it's redundant and you should instead write just "Noon."

Personally, I think your complaint is off-base. If you're trying to indicate that there's an exact schedule being followed (as with a timetable or an itinerary or a schedule of events, as with an inauguration), the most appropriate designation is 12:00 PM. "Noon" sounds too informal and imprecise. As another in this thread has already noted, it's an established custom that midnight is indicated as 12:00 AM, and noon as 12:00 PM.
