12 AM = noon

12 PM (usually you see 00:00) = midnight

It's so much simpler to say "noon" or "midnight"!

I think noon should be 12 am, because it comes after 11 am. But my computer tells me noon is 12 pm!

Thank you Pieanne. Joy, that's quite odd. As far as I know it's the way I've said.

P.S.: It's YoHf; perhaps you thought I were Khoff.

But it's true 12:00 is a weird time... It's much simpler, as ToJ said, to refer to it as either noon or midnight.

Does anybody know how the abbreviations PM and AM are translated? I forgot it...

Do Americans or Englishmen care of such a subtle thing?
