Technically, the instant of noon is neither, it's the meridian referred to
in AnteMeridian and PostMeridian. But the second that extends from noon
until 12:00:01 is after the meridian, so noon is generally called 12 PM, and
midnight is 12 AM. This also makes sense (sorta) if you look at 'military'
time, where midnight is 00:00 and noon is 12:00.
And we won't even talk about the difference between GMT and UTC.

nanoseconds are important.
