Hi Tony,

 HG> Sure does. In swedish or finnish we don't even have the shorthands AM
 HG> and PM but have to use 'p† morgonen and 'p† kv„llen' 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
