12:00 is when it changes between AM and PM.
For that reason the instant of 12:00 cannot be either AM and PM.
It's always bugged that noon is called 12:00 PM, and midnight called 12:00 AM.
Why don't they just drop the AM PM designations, and call them noon and midnight?
It's difficult for me to memorize things that are without reason.
My brain has a filter.
If it doesn't make sense, it doesn't get in.
