...12pm on Tuesday...
...Tuesday lunchtime...
I thought 12pm was daytime and 12am was the middle of the night?
Anyway, it is definitely NOON.
Will you be wiggling, Gramaisc?
Dangerous to use either - it can't be either ante or post meridiem - best to use noon and midnight.It is.

Noon is the meridiem therefore as soon as it's noon it is post meridiem - at midnight it is ante.

Agreed!
If you are willing to help her, please present yourself at the Market Square on Tuesday lunchtime and be ready to wiggle.
'Noon' and 'midnight' are just words - words mean only what we agree them to mean. '12pm' is also a word - a word that has the same meaning as 'noon'. '12am' has the significant advantage of being a full four characters fewer than 'midnight' whilst meaning the same thing.
Where? Who? Why? Aaargh! It makes no sense.there are people who think that midday is 12am...
You may be lucky never to have an interaction with one where the confusion could occur.
Which one is you..?
