in thread The world is not object oriented

I forgot to add: This is why I despise our digital clocks which insist that noon is PM because 12:01 is, and that midnight is somehow AM because 12:01 in the morning is. It creates a nice artificial symmetry, but is illogical to call 12:00 "noon after noon". Actually, that probably makes it a good example for the author's contention, as our need to force times into the AM/PM system creates an absolutely absurd designation of something being after itself.
