There's no such thing as 12 PM.

What do you mean? 12PM is noon.

How can 12 PM be noon when PM means (roughly) after noon? 12 hours after noon = noon?

which is only the first of many sites a google search spits out that will tell you the same thing.

You sound like the people I went to engineering school with. When you venture outside someday, you will notice people referring to 12 p.m. as noon, the World Wide Web as the Internet, and their computer enclosure as their "CPU". I hope this is not too much for you to handle!

Hmm, I had never heard that before. Interesting.

However, 12PM is commonly referred to as noon - for better or worse. We knew what he meant in his OP.

For engineers, there is no such thing as "outside".
