I did not know that. As the old saying goes, we learn something new every day.

What about After meridian Ciel. I have never been confused by am. and past meridian unless it is in the early hours of the morning, then I am always confused, now I think of it they are both the same.

Well I am going to use 24.00 hundred hours future as midnight and 00.01 as a minute past. I had forgotten that was the way we used it as conscripts But I can't work out how to go to 1 and one minute past hour past midnght is it 01.01

Re: JimmyA,
No, actually, you don't have to include them. They are non-existent. They are mistakes. And you can't count on anyone using them to mean the same thing as anyone else using them. Huh... kinda one of those religious things, isn't it?

Well, you still have to include 12 am and 12 pm into the configuration of the entire 24 hour cycle. I think noon and midnight may be just another way of saying that! Don't get upset if you disagree! Personally, I never use 12 am or 12 pm, but do instead use noon and midnight! Whether the terms are actually right or wrong is just not on my list of 'Things To Discuss And/Or Argue About' . . .
