Re: 00:00:00 or 24:00:00

Not to put too fine a point on it, but I suppose day does end when night begins? There is in fact another word for the 24-hour period, but we have usurped the word day so we know longer use it. Heck, I can;t even remember it now. It was something like dail, but that is not right.

day (dā)

n.

1. The period of light between dawn and nightfall; the interval from
sunrise to sunset.
2.
1. The 24-hour period during which the earth completes one
rotation on its axis.
2. The period during which a celestial body makes a similar
rotation.
