    Perfectly 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.

      You start counting the hours to the next noon at midnight, duh. That’s why it’s ante-meridian, and the beginning of a new day. If you want to go around calling it 00:30, most people would understand, even in America.

      Did you mix up the first and third place? Because if 12:00 is “m”, it makes more sense for 12:30am to be night.
