[Murphy Durphy]

I think its.. PM? :roll:

 

[Azraele]

If it's *after* noon, then it's afternoon, hence, pm.

 

[sash1]

noon = 12:00pm as well

`K

 

[PowerMacG5]

PM.

YGPM
I mean PM.

 

[Dacalo]

12:01 PM for 1 min past noon

12:01 AM for 1min past midnight

 

[notfred]

So then, 12:00 is earlier than 1:00? It would make more sense if after 11:00AM was 12:00AM and after 11:00PM was 12:00PM.

There is a technical misnomer here. Technically 12:00 should never be used with AM or PM. Noon and Midnight should be used instead. By convention 12:00PM is noon on most digital clocks, but in actuality it's not supposed to be used that way.

One minute after Midnight is 12:01 AM
One minute after Noon is 12:01 PM
