The Confusion Began …..
When The 24hr Clock was Accepted by Mainstream.
The 12hr Clock was Mainly used till he 70’s by The General Populace.
As a Kid.
I remember that 12pm was Midnight !!!
AND
It Really Confused Me when I Started hearing that Midnight was 12am ???
SO, The Difference is:
The 12hr – AM/PM Clock – Finishes on 12
The 24hr Clock – Starts on 00:00
Mathematically it makes Sense.
00:01am to 12am Lunch.
Then
00:01 pm to 12pm MidNight.
NOT
12am midnight to 11:59am
Then
12pm lunch to 11:59pm
As this Does NOT Make Sense Mathematically.
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Thus …..
Imposing The 00:00am 24 hr Clock.
To The 12hr AM/PM Clock is The Mistake
AND In Conclusion.
12pm iz Midnight.

We are not the only ones that get confused then we are glad that you thought the same thing. Glad that you did this for us and I hope that I can get the am and pm right.

This can be very confusing indeed and as an educator I recognise how difficult some students find this concept. It is a good post to refer to for the sake of clarity in regards to the midnight debacle.
