10:15 on a Saturday night

An important survey:

[Poll #1060840]

Yes, I know 12pm isn't a meaningful time. But people use it, so I want to know what is generally understood by it. If you want a box for "I wouldn't understand anything by it, because it's a stupid thing to say", then you can't have one; just imagine that the something happening is important and you're forced to take a guess.

If you're asking for a practical purpose I recommend the phrase '12 noon'. Everyone understands that.

Sensible discussion at Confusion at noon and midnight.

I am asking for a practical purpose. I want to know what other people mean when they don't use the phrase "12 noon" and when it isn't practical to ask them for clarification :)

There seems to be a decent consensus, although as usual a few awkward types!

I know that now. Y'know, it's almost like I was asking because I wanted to discover what the concensus was :p

Heh, clearly you were actually asking because you wanted to start a noonists vs midnighters flamewar.
