| 446270 | 2006-04-15 03:16:00 | This a . m . and p . m . thing often confuses people . Sensible people use the 24 hour clock, where 0000 is midnight and 1200 is noon . :cool: p . m . is post meridian, "after noon" . So 12:13 p . m . is 12 hours and 13 minutes after noon, so it's 13 minutes after midnight (0013), in the early morning . Now for the funny part . a . m . is ante meridian, "before noon" . Times expressed as "a . m . " should start at 12:00 a . m . (= midnight) and count down to noon . (12:13 a . m . actually means 12 hours and 13 minutes before noon, so it would be 2347 of "yesterday") . :D 1 a . m . is strictly speaking "one hour before noon", or 1100, rather than 0100, as it's usually understood . |

I'm gonna have to disagree with you there . You are just translating it literally, and applying the translation as you see fit . am is ante meridian, as you said . However, it doesn't mean the number of hours "before noon", as you are translating it, it means the period of time before noon . ie, 1am is, (strictly speaking) 1 hour into the "before noon" period . |

At the moment there seem to be lots of chinese bots hitting the boards. On the discussion board for the type I use there has been comment about the chinese bots. | netchicken (4843) | ||
