minus-squarebleistift2@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·20 days agoAs someone who grew up with a 24-hour clock, I can deal with 12 hours. Usually there’s no confusion if your store opens at 7am or 7pm. But 12:30PM being a valid time and meaning ‘00:30 on the next day’ fucks me up every time.
minus-squaretiramichu@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·20 days ago12:30PM means 30 minutes after 12-noon. Anyone saying that and meaning the middle of the night is just wrong, and if that’s a genuine thing people do it would drive me quite mad. 30 minutes after midnight is 12:30AM
minus-squareexu@feditown.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·20 days agoPerfectly illustrates how it doesn’t make sense. I can get behind 11.30pm 12.30pm 1.30am Or 11.30pm 0.30am 1.30am But 11.30pm 12.30am 1.30am just doesn’t make sense.
