to know how to communicate with the average person
than it is to be academically picky
And what I want to do is what American railroads and airlines
have been doing to communicate with the average person since
roughly the Buchanan Administration: avoid using 12:00 am
and 12:00 pm in scheduling situations.
It's one thing to use these on output (like the Windows tray
control) where the user has many ways to infer the meaning
(most users will have some external clues about whether it is
noon or midnight), or in MS Schedule where 12:00 pm shows in
the middle of the day, right between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm,
and another thing to expect the user to know how to use them
correctly without such context supplied. The wxTimeCtrl
could give the user a little contextual clue if the spin
button on minutes would roll to the previous or next hour
when spun down past zero or up past 59, but it doesn't.
