The day should start at like… Equatorial dawn or something.

    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.

      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).
