@tretron@bark.lgbt Honestly… I assumed it was a “standard” by nature of being commonly accepted. Personally, I’ve never heard anyone use 12:00pm to refer to midnight, so I assumed it was a solved issue in this day and age.
Then I read this, and you’re right; this shit’s fucked: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12-hour_clock#Confusion_at_noon_and_midnight
Props to Canada for just giving up and saying “if you mean midnight write ‘midnight’ if you mean noon write ‘noon’, don’t even bother with am/pm”
