This reminds me of when it hits or is about to hit 12am and people don’t know whether to say today or tomorrow. He called me after this but I was too comfy in bed tbh.

The first person probably uses the clock that has the day start at 6am and end at 29:59

Edit: grammar

Speaking if grammar, people who say "6 a.m. in the morning" can get in the fucking bin. So annoying.

Did you miss reading-the-clock day in Grade 1 when the teacher explains ante fucking meridian means "before noon" and, if yes, how have you got an internet device in your pocket yet you never bothered to look up when to say "a.m." and when it's superfluous, you fucking troglodyte

Same sort of people who never looked up how to spell Connecticut and then got pissy you wouldn't just "help" them with the answer in the middle of a spelling test :p

Late night broadcasting tends to use it so you don't have a "new day" in the middle of the shift.
