Hump Day with a Monday holiday? I hate to be a
Post# of 121401
I hate to be a nit picker, but is it really "Hump Day" today with a Monday holiday? Shouldn't we have a "Hump Midnight" tonight and which day will it be, today or tomorrow?
This ought to clear it up>>>

Are the words noon, midday and midnight clearly understood?
There is no confusion when using the words 12 noon (or midday) and 12 midnight, although the use of 12 midnight can raise the questions
Is midnight today or tomorrow?
What does midnight mean?
To avoid confusion, it is always better to use the 24-hour clock, so that 12:00 is 12 noon. Therefore 24:00 Sunday or 00:00 Monday are both midnight meaning Sunday to Monday.
It is common for transport timetables to use 23:59 Sunday or 00:01 Monday, or 11:59 pm or 12:01 am, to further reduce confusion.
