Anyone saying that and meaning the middle of the night is just wrong, and if that’s a genuine thing people do it would drive me quite mad. 30 minutes after midnight is 12:30AM
minus-squareexu@feditown.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16arrow-down2·7 hours agoPerfectly illustrates how it doesn’t make sense. I can get behind 11.30pm 12.30pm 1.30am Or 11.30pm 0.30am 1.30am But 11.30pm 12.30am 1.30am just doesn’t make sense.
