Maybe you should go to bed sooner than you do now

Good advice IFW

Um... I go to bed at about 9:30...

Morning is too early no matter what...

That's because if it came later, it would be called "afternoon"

tis true

no, that's only if it's past noon.. hence after-noon

Coffee can fix that too early thing.

I had a cappuccino already, and am working on coffee #2...

But anything before noon is considered "morning" so if morning, which is before noon, was later it than before noon, it would then be after

noon

right, but we could be at noon... which is neither morning nor is it after noon

and, technically speaking, the noon hour is not after noon... so anytime at 12:00 - 12:59 is simply noon.

But isn't "noon" 12 o' clock? So one second after 12 would be considered "after" noon?

no, because the noon hour is technically noon

half past noon is a misnomer

it should be half past 12

half past noon would be... 6 pm

The definition for noon hour is the hour between 12 noon and 1. So the hour after 12 is after "noon"

so... you just proved my point... the hour AFTER the noon hour is after noon... but the hour between 12 and 1 is noon.

No, no, no. The time 12:00 is noon the hour after 12, meaning 12:01-12:59 is in fact, **after** noon.

no, because the definition you gave specified the noon hour as the hour between noon and 1, and the short hand noon is the same as the

noon hour, we just are too lazy to say it as was intended

the hour between 12 and 12:59 is in fact, DURING noon.

So when I tell someone that it's noon that could mean that it was 12 or 12:25 or 12:59?

Or anything between that?

Noon and noon hour are two seperate things. Noon hour is the hour after noon. Meaning the hour after 12:00. Meaning, that it is afternoon

no, we simply changed it to say that in our everyday language, much like we made "ain't" a real conjugation...

and stopped saying wherefore for why

But according to your explanation that would be accurate. Correct?

it would be acceptable, but semantics would argue I'm correct. I'm not looking for acceptable, I'm looking for correct.

ROTFL!!!

ok here is another one for you two what or when is midnight

is the hour of 12pm to 12:59

it's halfway through the night... night starting at 6PM and ending at 6AM hence the term midnight!

But is it like Noon? Is it actually "the midnight hour" and therefore from 12:00 - 12:59 AM? Are we incorrect in assuming, when someone

"at midnight" that it is at exactly 12:00 A.M.?? Or do the rules for "Noon" not apply to "midnight?"

*when someone SAYS (sorry.)

oh my goodness.....are you really arguing about this....noon in my definition is 12:00 pm

because anything after 12:00 is then therefore afternoon.....because really if you say the noon hour that technically would mean 12:00

and not 12:01 or any other minute during that hour....

so I agree with Tom...she is right and you are wrong.......and as for the midnight question the same rule applies

midnight is at the stroke of 12:00 am....anytime after or before that is merely a pain in the behind

Gee, I don't know whether to laugh or cry over this Plurk but in any case it makes my head hurt, so now I think that I will

take an Excedrine PM and call you in the AM, which happens just ahead of when it will be the PM time of day once again.

This plurk makes me want to hit "the" button!!!

haha

I agree with Roosha

hehe!

I thought that arguement was actually fun

O. my. goodness. Alyssa would love having a conversation (argument) with you two!

hshs

haha
