The clock on my oven goes from 23:59 to 24:00 before reverting to 00:01
I can't sleep any nights that I'm up late enough to see it!
I have 2 ovens side by side. They are both the same make. At midnight one of them says 00:00, the other says 24:00.The clock on my oven goes from 23:59 to 24:00 before reverting to 00:01

Why do people write/say 12PM and 12AM? This is, by definition, contradictory. It can only be 12 midday or 12 midnight.
Ante Meridian is Latin for "before midday" so it can’t be 12 AM since at 12.00 it is no longer before or after midday. The same is true for PM (Post Meridian, Latin for "after midday").

For some reason, this gives me a little thrill every time! But it doesn't keep me awake

I am one of the guilty ones for this. I have a few reasons for writing 12am or 12pm. An example is if I am writing some letter and am describing something that may have happened at 12:07pm, instead of being too exact I describe it as 'shortly after 12pm' such and such happened. I prefer to express it that way rather than 'just after midday' or 'shortly after noon'.
Why not just midday and midnight?
