And, for that matter, why does time go from 11 P.M. (post meridian, or after noon)...ok, so its 11 hours after noon...to 12 A.M. (anti-meridian, before noon)...so then, that would be 12 hours before noon, I'll go along with that...to 1 A.M! One hour before noon? I don't think so! And then noon is 12 P.M.---12 hours before itself? No wonder kids have such trouble learning to tell time!!!
