Why do you keep bringing “am” into this. again none of what I said has anything to do with the definition of “am”
And why are you being so rude on what is clearly a silly thread?
My “argument” isn’t that “midnight itself makes no sense”
My argument is that having the day start at midnight isn’t how people intuitively conceptualize a day, and wouldn’t it be nice if the calendar day more closely resembled our intuition about days (a contiguous daytime period followed by a contiguous nighttime period).
5 am is morning. Because the sun is up like 40 percent of places 40 percent of the time. But that’s not your argument.
Your argument is that midnight makes no sense.
You’re wrong. 12 noon is noon. 12 midnight is MIDDLE of the night.
Noon is when the sun is on average the highest.
Midnight is on average when the sun is the lowest.
None of this is inconsistent. It makes perfect sense. Your inability to grasp this is a personal issue.
Before you even:
“but middle of the night means that 1 am is still night but am means morning”
No, you’re an idiot and wrong.
AM doesn’t mean morning. It means before noon.
Again. It is perfectly consistent.
