As an American who uses the 24-hour time, so many people use 12-hour I basically still use 12-hour.

      What if somebody says to meet at 12:30 AM? I would think that’s an half hour past noon. Yet it often goes 11am -> 12pm -> 12:30pm -> 1pm. Absolute madness.

            Not really, pm basically just saying that it’s the afternoon to evening to night period of time. Am it’s just the late night, early morning and late morning period of time.
