In childhood a
teacher told me the am and pm stands for, “After Midnight”
and “Past Midday” it is wrong!!!
Though,
funny enough, not really that far off it is
the translated versions of the Latin
words for which a.m. and p.m.
Actually AM AND PM stand for:
It turns out, a.m. stands for “ante
meridiem”, which is Latin for “Before
Midday”; p.m. stands for “Post
Meridiem”, which is Latin for “After
Midday”.
Interestingly, this finally clears up
for me one of the interesting quirks
of the 12 hour clock system where
time counts from 12 a.m. to 1 a.m.
and likewise goes from 11 a.m. to 12
p.m., which always seemed odd, but
now makes perfect sense given what
a.m. and p.m. stand for.
