DH and I are laughing because we can't agree on which is correct. Help! LOL!

Noon time = 12:00 a.m.
Midnight = 12:00 p.m.

OR

Noon time = 12:00 p.m.
Midnight = 12:00 a.m.

Which is correct, red or green? DH is sure green is correct but I don't think so! One minute past Noon = 12:01 p.m. One minute past midnight = 12:01 a.m.. Right?! Please tell me I'm correct or I'll have egg on my face! LOL!

By Ilovetom on Tuesday, March 1, 2005 - 09:58 pm:

Green. LOL. I love it someone argues over things like this.

By Sunny on Tuesday, March 1, 2005 - 09:59 pm:

I always say Noon is 12:00pm and Midnight is 12:00am.

Sorry.

By Sunny on Tuesday, March 1, 2005 - 10:01 pm:

Found this which says neither is correct! LOL

By Tink on Tuesday, March 1, 2005 - 10:02 pm:

I'm in a "green state" with your dh on this one. Sorry!

By Rayanne on Tuesday, March 1, 2005 - 10:15 pm:

Green wins here but my DH would say that red wins. We have this conversation all the time. LOL, and to think that we were the only ones.

By Amy~moderator on Wednesday, March 2, 2005 - 01:31 am:

Green here too!

By Palmbchprincess on Wednesday, March 2, 2005 - 01:49 am:

Add another green. My alarm clock says it's 12 AM at midnight. The alarm clock is always right. (Except when it's going off)

By Trina~moderator on Wednesday, March 2, 2005 - 06:43 am:

DOH! I'm an idiot! Of course DH is loving this. Thanks for the link, Sunny. At least I know there is some merit to my mix up! LOL!

By Ginny~moderator on Wednesday, March 2, 2005 - 06:56 am:

I always say 12:00 Noon, and 12:00 Midnight. Just because of this confusion.

By Karen~moderator on Wednesday, March 2, 2005 - 07:29 am:

I was always taught that green was the correct one.......

By Bea on Wednesday, March 2, 2005 - 08:54 am:

Sorry. I was taught that green was correct.

By Jann on Wednesday, March 2, 2005 - 09:16 am:

Noon time = 12:00 p.m.
Midnight = 12:00 a.m.

By Mrsheidi on Wednesday, March 2, 2005 - 09:25 am:

By Hlgmom on Wednesday, March 2, 2005 - 10:37 am:

By Kym on Wednesday, March 2, 2005 - 10:54 am:

I'm pretty sure neither is correct I think it's either midnight til 12:01 AM and noon til 12:01 PM

By Kayleesmommy on Wednesday, March 2, 2005 - 12:25 pm:

green is for sure correct.

By Bellajoe on Wednesday, March 2, 2005 - 09:52 pm:

green!

By Jelygu on Wednesday, March 2, 2005 - 09:56 pm:

I always say green too... sorry!

By Wandilu on Saturday, March 5, 2005 - 06:54 pm:

green here too...funny you should mention this.EVERY EVERY EVERY time DH goes to set the alarm for the next day he always asks" is the morning am or pm ?" I always thought it meant "AT MORNING (am)" and "PAST MORNING (pm).

By Andi on Saturday, March 5, 2005 - 09:11 pm:

Green!

By Lauram on Thursday, March 10, 2005 - 01:12 pm:

Well, technically, neither is correct, because PM means Post Meridian and AM means Ante Meridian. If it is the meridian, it isn't before or after! I have heard it said though that by the time you finish saying it, it is before or after though (in seconds) so you don't have to wait until 12:01. So, yes, with that qualifier- green is correct!
