[Reiloth]

[Barsook]

Wow, one that I can make it too.

[Akaramu]

Offpeakers are in love with Reiloth.

Quick comment - it is incorrect to use PM (or AM) when suffixing 12, the meaning is completely ambiguous (between midnight, and noon). You are probably referring to noon, however it is mildly unclear and syntactically incorrect.

[Erythil]

I don't think so...?

I was always taught:

12:00 PM -- NOON
12:00 AM -- MIDNIGHT

Grabbed from wikipedia: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12-hour_clock)

The National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, states:

    To avoid confusion, the correct designation for twelve o'clock is 12 noon or 12 midnight. Alternatively, the twenty-four-hour-clock system may be used. The abbreviation a.m. stands for ante-meridiem (before the Sun has crossed the line) and p.m. for post-meridiem (after the Sun has crossed the line). At 12 noon the Sun is at its highest point in the sky and directly over the meridian. It is therefore neither "ante-" nor "post-".[9]

From your source:

In the United States, noon is often called "12:00 p.m." and midnight "12:00 a.m." With this convention, thinking of "12" as "0" makes the system logical.

The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (Fourth Edition, 2000) has a similar usage note on this topic: "Strictly speaking, 12 a.m. denotes midnight, and 12 p.m. denotes noon, but there is sufficient confusion over these uses to make it advisable to use 12 noon and 12 midnight where clarity is required."

Not everyone is an American. And even in America, use of 12:00 AM (or PM) is confusing enough.

[Barsook]

[Lizzie]

And then there's the whole "twelve in the morning" that totally screws everyone up...

[Malifaxis]

Or you could just do 12 or 24.

Milspec FTW.

[Reiloth]

Ahem.

12 noon.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!

[Reiloth]

Not everyone is an American. And even in America, use of 12:00 AM (or PM) is confusing enough.

Also, I don't know what America you're talking about, but i've been saying 12PM my entire life.

I still get confused as shit when 12PM/AM is used....

I just tell people to use "noon" or "midnight".

[Barsook]

Wow, one that I can make it too.

or do I work that day?

[boog]

This is like, the day after my anniversary. I'll have to see. I'll have to see.

[Erythil]

Get off my lawn.

[Kalai]

So would this be 3 PM EST?

[Lizzie]

So would this be 3 PM EST?

Yes.

[Barsook]

PST?  I thought it said EST.  Anyways, dunno if I can make it.

[Bluefae]

Or you could just do 12 or 24.

Milspec FTW.

    (Oddly?) +1  Initially didn't like it, but after the first few weeks, a 24-hour clock just made too much darn sense.  

[palomar]

PST?  I thought it said EST.  Anyways, dunno if I can make it.

12 noon PST
3 pm EST

[Barsook]

No, palomar, I misread the title.

[Reiloth]
