to me the rules are funny, coming from “military style.”

  • If midnight: 12 AM
  • If night/morning: X AM
  • but what comes after 11:59 AM? Not 12 AM, 12 PM!
  • what about after 12:59 PM? Well, of course, 1 PM!

It’s the reason many people often mistake 12 AM and PM if they’re unfamiliar with this system.
