yorky15 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Strange, but is it just my logic? I received a discount voucher for a restaurant which gave a discount up to 12pm on Sunday. I then thought is this 12pm midday or 12pm midnight. Does 12pm midnight exist? Is it pm or am? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorky15 Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 Thanks Charmer, so when is 12pm? I would have thought that anytime after 12 would be would be pm or am, but when it is dead on 12, when is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnight come both before and after midday so it must be both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martok Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 12 PM is midday 12 PM is the short version of 12 hours Post Meridiem which means 12 hours after midday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorky15 Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 So 12pm is midnight. I will book the table and hope they will honour the voucher. Bon appetit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy266 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I dont thing you can say 12pm or 12 am. It should, imho, be 12 noon or 12 midnight. As 12 IS the meridiem, how can it be anti or post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
