You may indeed be correct, but with the advent of digital clocks, 12:00pm is noon and 12:00am is midnight. It is really hard for digital clocks and VCRs to dislpay 'noon' and 'midnight'. So, people have gotten into the habit of saying 12 pm or 12 am. It may be wrong, but it has become reality. -- ihnp4------\ harvard-\ \ Mr. Video seismo!uwvax!nicmad!brown topaz-/ / decvax------/

Sorry, but there is such a thing. Midnight is 12:00 AM and noon is 12:00 PM. Of course, *real* men don't use AM/PM. They use the 24 hour clock. --Craig ...ucbvax!pixar!good
