Das gabs schon mehrfach:
Siehe auch: Noon = 12pm (or 12am) ?

Es gibt zwei Möglichkeiten:

12pm = 12:00 Uhr
(12am = 24:00 Uhr bzw. 00:00 Uhr)

oder midday = Mittag

ab Mittag sagt man auch "Good Afternoon" wenn man mit Kunden spricht.

Es gibt KEIN 12AM/PM

NOON/MIDNIGHT!

Might I propose a new term: chewing the LEOcud

Definition: A topic just keeps on coming back to be chewed over time and time again.

@ coburn - tell that to shopkeepers and the general public all over the UK

Get ready...

Post something to a forum which records the postings using a.m. or p.m. at 12:00 midday and see what it says. This happened to me recently and I considered posting the resuklt here, but it was one of those rare days that nobody had asked this question.

@ Coburn: tell that to shopkeepers all across the UK.

store owners across the US have a different opinion on that
lets check what google has to say about it

...what a timely post LOL

yes...12Noon is a very good compromise

.

Noon is PM, midnight is AM (...I always thought it was messed up like that, but whatever.

If it helps (but it probably doesn't):

AM - ante meridiem (before midday)
PM - post meridiem (after midday) (think of noon as 00:00 after midday)

(...It always made me think clocks should go 12 11 10...3 2 1 - midday - 1 2 3...10 11, buy maybe that'd be even more confusing)


...And Good afternoon happens after noon, but usually around 5-7PM you start getting "good evening" instead.
