2005年5月24日 · Thus 12pm was associated with 12 noon, and 12am with midnight. 1; 2; Next. 1 of 2 Go to page. Go. Next ...

2005年8月26日 · In writing and printing, it would still be best to use "noon" or "midnight" when that's what's intended, but people often use the primitive and technically incorrect clock conventions. Writing "12pm" for "noon" isn't really incorrect, it's just, oh, mechanical.

2008年8月12日 · es ist nicht wirklich unlogisch, dass 12pm noon ist. Wenn die uhr 12 schlägt ist es genau in dem Moment eigentlich schon wieder nach noon- also nach der Mitte. also daher 12pm. Mitternacht kenne ich als 0 am aber das schreibt man eher so. Es ist klarer. Habe noch nie 12:30am gesehen, glaube ich.

2006年11月8日 · Good afternoon is tricky. Usually I don't hear good afternoon at all. If someone says it, it is usually 12pm - 4 pm. But I don't think it really matters. In America atleast, people just say "hey" or "what's up" haha

In conclusion, it is technically still correct to say good morning after 12pm, as long as the sun has not yet reached its zennith. Whether or not it is acceptable on the receiving end is another matter.

2006年2月2日 · So, 12pm or 12am is absurd by definition. This explains the confusion around it and one person understands 12am, for instance, as midnight and the other as midday. To put it differently, 12 is the time-marker in the middle and the two slots (am and pm) are defined around it, by definition...

2007年6月13日 · 12am and 12pm are both incorrect usage in the UK: 12.00 = midday; 24.00 = midnight The 24 hour system is increasingly understood and used in English, especially in technical situations (aviation, shipping etc)

2009年10月27日 · Greetings one and all I've had problems having the word 'midday' understood to mean noon, when not addressing BE native speakers. When I've cited it as a scheduled time, I've been asked to clarify specifically what time between 12pm and 3pm I mean. This has happened with a wide variety of...
