it’s that time again
ever since my casio® digital watch got stuck on the 24-hour clock, so did i. like the american military (and everyone else in the world (including the portugese)) i dig its clarity°. one thing that i have always found confusing is determing if noon is 12:00 am or 12:00 pm. according to sticklers—it isn’t either. noon is the ONLY time on the dial that is neither before nor after midday—it IS midday.
stylewise, if it is not possible to write noon, a preferred way to note this time in the 12-hour system is:
12:00 m.
no joke.
