12am and 12pm are incorrect indications of time. It’s 12 noon and 12 midnight, period!……or use the 24 hour clock. Alexi says: Ask yourself this: when is 12:59 PM? Is it one minute before 1 o’clock in the afternoon or 1 minute before 1 in the morning?
12:30 pm is really 0:30 pm, zero hours and 30 minutes post meridian. If it fit the pattern, then 12:30 pm should be 30 minutes after midnight because 30 minutes after midnight is "12 hours and 30 minutes after noon".
Many U.S. style guides, and NIST's "Frequently asked questions (FAQ)" web page, [2] recommend that it is clearest if one refers to "noon" or "12:00 noon" and "midnight" or "12:00 midnight" (rather than to "12:00 p.m." and "12:00 a.m."). The NIST website states that "12 a.m. and 12 p.m. are ambiguous and should not be used."

12:00 noon should be marked as just M as it is the meridiem (mid day). Everything before that is Ante Meridiem, and everything after that is Post Meridiem. But marking noon as Meridiem is seen as confusing as it is only a minute long so most lump 12:00 with 12:01 and stick the pm on it.
26 sie 2005 · Writing "12pm" for "noon" isn't really incorrect, it's just, oh, mechanical. A.M. and P.M. start immediately after Midnight and Noon (Midday) respectively. This means that 00:00 A.M. or 00:00 P.M. (or 12:00 A.M. and 12:00 P.M.) have no meaning.
9 wrz 2024 · 12 A.M. refers to midnight at the start of the day, while 12 P.M. refers to noon, or midday. It’s important to use these terms correctly to avoid confusion about the timing of events or appointments.
