To the Keywords section of the Glossary, add the following:
Midnight: Midnight is the exact instant of 00:00:00. One day ends and the next begins at exactly midnight. Since midnight is an instant, even if the time reads 00:00:00, it is counted as being after midnight.
Because it’s ridiculous that we can no longer use “midnight” in our rules.
@Darth: Your definition seems to be the troublesome one here… Still, the last Midnight Crisis was contentious enough. My personal favoured fix would be to distinguish between a second (e.g. all times that are 00:00:00) and an instant (the moment at which the time becomes 00:00:00), then define midnight to be the instant, and state that times in the second 00:00:00 are always part of the day “after midnight”, and that times in the second 23:59:59 (or 23:59:60 on a leap second day) are part of the day “before midnight”.
because this definition makes it ridiculously unclear what “midnight on Wednesday” means.
I knew I was forgetting something. But that is a small fix that I will propose after this passes.
Ienpw III: Do you agree to Darth, to ais or to both? And why don‘t S/K you this Proposal, if you see problems?
Anyway, per ais.
I wasn’t even here for midnight crisis, and I’m still sick of this. Current definition of Day is absolutely sufficient, and if for some reason you *really* need to refer to midnight, you can say 00:00:00.
Because I don’t want to have to update the Essay about this again. :p
