  I find 12:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. incredibly confusing. It’s 11:59 a.m. and one minute later it’s suddenly 12:00 p.m. and you just keep counting until 12:59 p.m. before you reset the clock to 1:00 p.m. The literal meaning of p.m. (post meridiem) is after midday, which instinctively suggests that 12:00 p.m. is 12 hours after midday. If it would just start counting from 0:00 p.m. you wouldn’t have this problem. Of course it all makes sense if you’re used to it, but this is from my 24h perspective.

  It looks like just the UK, France and Germany combined already add up to more aid with a combined GDP that’s much lower than the US. These kinds of graphs give a distorted picture due to the high population and GDP that’s the US has.

  I don’t think Mexico and Cuba are usually considered to be part of Central America, right?
