Hi Tony,

 HG> No it isn't because AM (a.m. ante meridiem) is used for any time before
 HG> mid-day (12 oclock), and PM (p.m. post meridiem) for any time before
 HG> midnight.

TL> Almost correct - "post" means after, so PM is "after
midday". :)

Yes, actually any time between midday and midnight.

It feels a little bit odd to us because we are used to night, morning,
day, afternoon and evening before we get to the night again.

 HG> Well, as long as I'm not a burden on my children and other relatives
 HG> I'll keep going, hi.

TL> That's a reasonable approach. :)

I hope it is.
