Hi Tony,
HG> Sure does. In swedish or finnish we don't even have the shorthands AM
HG> and PM but have to use 'på morgonen and 'på kvällen' to tell when that
HG> 8'oclock is.
Afterwards I recalled the shorthand FM that stands for the day before
mid-day and EM that stands for the afternoon but nothing for the morning
or evening hours.
TL> That's getting even clumsier. :)
Yes it is especially when people usually don't use them to specify what
part of the day is meant.
HG> I happened to get my license at the time of at the rising sunspot cycle
HG> in 1951 and when I moved to the Aland Islands 1957 it, #19, reached its
HG> record maximum.
TL> That was a long time before I was ever around. :)
I'm beginning to get the feeling that I've lived too long ;o)
Have a good night,
Holger
.. Someday we'll look back on this, laugh nervously, and change the subject.
