Morning, afternoon and the 24-hour clock, sentence 15

Many people say 12 am for midnight and 12 pm for noon, but these muddle even grown-ups, so timetables often just write "noon" and "midnight".

Who acts: Many people, these, timetables · What happens: say, muddle, write · To what, where: 12 am, grown ups · Speech: someone speaks here
