Actually 12:00am and 12:00pm is whats confusing, there was a actually court
case over it years ago. 12:00:00 is the switchover time from am to pm and pm
to am.
It is neither am or pm at the switchover time, just 12:00:00 noon and
12:00:00 midnight,
Noon and midnight is always clear which transition is occuring....
