  Oh I know what they put them there for. I just find it obscene.

    I dunno, people get confused by 12pm often, this feels like a relatively elegant solution.

      Solution could be to learn what AM and PM means. Ante meridiem (before midday) and post meridiem (after midday).

      Or use 24h time. Then you can omit the midday factor altogether.

        Well, the definitions aren’t really all that helpful. 12pm is neither before nor after midday, while 12am is exactly 12 hours before and after midday.

        ‘this often confuses people’

        ‘here’s a solution: learn’

      Of course there’s also that other solution. You know, the one the rest of the world uses.

        Suddenly having a base with 12 is good? I bet you split hours into fractions too.

      If you don’t know what nn and mn mean it means nothing.

        I can never differ between am and pm, because we don’t use that here - well, at least I always mix it up

        mn instead was very intuitive
