erm... 12am is midnight
Ahem. Oops.
But in a way that's a good example for what I meant. You and me communicate time both in reference to the time of day, not a virtual time of the planet that means something else to everyone depending on location, and you easily could spot my mistake.
So let's just say I did that on purpose.
Is being able to communicate about stuff like that casually, where you do not mean a specific time anyway, really worth the giant pile of pain that time zones add to actual scheduling?
I suspect the language would change for those scenarios, so maybe you would say "I slept until midday" rather than "I slept until 12pm".
