[quoteost_uid0="Marc"][color=#000000ost_uid0]This is a convention used (for instance in collective agreements and other such contracts) to make sure that one is referring to an unambiguous date and time.[/colorost_uid0][/quoteost_uid0]
[color=#000000ost_uid0]Thanks for the explanation, Marc. I'm not sure how 12:01am makes the time unambiguous though. Isn't saying 2 in the morning just as ambiguous? If someone says to me that there will be a party starting on the 25th at 2am, do they mean the 2am on the actual morning of the 25th or the actual morning of the 26th? Doesn't the ambiguity come from the fact that people still consider early morning to be the night of the previous day?

Oh well. It doesn't matter much for me anyway. I'm not planning on seeing the first showing either way.[/colorost_uid0]
