A quote from my favorite online dictionary.
"While computers and digital clocks display "12:00 a.m." and "12:00 p.m." these notations provide no clear and unambiguous way to distinguish between midnight and noon. It is actually improper to use "a.m." and "p.m." when referring to 12:00. The abbreviation a.m. stands for ante meridiem (or before the meridian) and p.m. stands for post meridiem (or after the meridian), with the meridian being 12:00 noon. For this reason, neither abbreviation is correct for noon or midnight.[4] The length of the error is determined by the smallest unit of time: 12:00:01 p.m. would be correctly notated, as would even 12:00:00.00001 pm."
This may be the first time in the history of tubenet that Joe and Wade have been on the opposite side of a question, and both wrong.
I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.

Hm. In our world, digital clocks jump from 23:59 to 0:00.
No problems here.

You also have the metric system. If it wasn't for marmite/vegemite, I think you guys might be onto something down there. :-)
