12a is midnight,  12p is noon.  On a 24 hour clock, 12a is 0:00, which is another helpful way to remember.

Does the Florida purchase agreement include a special definition of terms?Otherwise,  I am sure most citizens of the state and gators of the swamp understand 12:00AM arrives immediately after 11:59PM.  Unless I am missing something.

12am is midnight.

Better to write it as 12:00 midnight or 12:00 noon to avoid any confusion.

All California contracts in real estate are 12:00 a.m. midnight unless otherwise modified. And while we’re on the topic: a “day” is a 24 hour period of time, which a lot of realtors don’t seem to understand.

12:00PM is Noon

12:00AM is Midnight

12pm = noon and 12am = midnight.

It's easy when you think about it...12:01am is the next day, just like 1am.

 

All that aside the person putting this together likely made a mistake.

Am I wrong in thinking that this question is a joke?  I don't find the punchline though, haha.  Of course, 12 p.m. is Noon and 12 a.m. is Midnight, that is a fact.

Fred, I often ask this question myself when somebody presents me an offer at 10 am and puts response time by 12pm. Everybody here unanimously agreed that 12pm is noon, and 12am is midnight. So much nicer if the contract writer put 12 noon, or at least 12:01 pm if the they like to use minutes.
