Except that midnight is also 0:00, so you still have the am/pm confusion.
They should have kept 0:00 just for midnight really.
That's the first time I've seen anything to justify calling midnight AM.
Thankyou
But how can mid-day be after mid-day? Ah: it has been set up as a convention.
To be honest, I don't think I often hear mid-day referred to as "zero hour"
(0:00) here in Japan.
It seems to be more common for midnight, where it makes sense, being the same
as in the 24hr clock.
btw in Thailand they divide the day into four six-hour sections, so you can have "three in the night",
"three in the morning", "three in the afternoon" or "three in the evening".
