It is common for midnight and noon to be described as 12 am and 12 pm respectively. You have quoted convention accurately. As is often the case, however, convention is incorrect. The meridian is an imaginary line that cuts the earth exactly in two. At noon precisely, the sun is at its highest point in relation to the meridian. Before then, it is ante meridian (ie before the sun has crossed the meridian line, or am) and after, it is post meridian (after the sun has crossed the meridian line, or pm). At noon, it is directly above the meridian line, and it is neither ante nor post, ie neither am nor pm. The correct terminology is, therefore, 12 Noon, and 12 Midnight. You may now continue to discuss the match. Johnny B and Kilgour 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintJet Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 Might be a bit breezy on Sunday; just saying in case someone wants to chip in about this game instead of measurement of time. south inch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may now continue to discuss the match. I prefer the term midday. Noon just sounds like there is going to be a gunfight rather than a game of football. I use the term midnight but Ive seen confusion as to what day that is when people follow it with a date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt you will be asking for it all to be sorted ina an independent Scotland Fancy another close game on Sunday and hopefully we can have a wee go at the defense cause I think Kane on David would be interesting.

SaintJet Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 What's the weather like in Perth; has the snow melted a bit? I guess Celtic will fancy this game cos they always play well at McD I think we might give them a fright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, maybe cutting the budget a little too much if we arent going to have a recognised goalkeeper. Think its one position we need against Celtic.

Conway creates more chances for us than anyone bar Wotherspoon. Its boring as **** that people need to have players to moan about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
