Sorry, jassy033; but 12 p.m. is noontime. The initials "p.m." stand for "post meridiem", which means "after noon". Contrast that with "a.m." (ante meridiem), meaning "before noon".

I was not thinking of the strict Latin meaning, but more of what I have encountered in daily usage. In fact it's a moot philosophical point, since strictly 12 is neither before nor after noon or midnight, it is exactly dead on!
