Yup, that annoys me, which is why I flag it by inserting the kudos when I feel inclined to :banana:banana:banana Should we start a post recognising "Plagiarist of the Week"? :lol: |

Its often easy to spot if someone does a copy paste, that's why it's a polite practice if you do , say its a copy or quoted and provide a link to the original source (just sayin') :) | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1463259 | 2019-08-28 12:55:00 | The correct word is "meridiem" not meridian. Ante meridiem and post meridiem, AM and PM. It has nowt to do with meridian. Buy yourself a dictionary |

| 1463261 | 2019-09-03 05:13:00 | I have always taken meridian to have the meaning "middle of", and in this case, middle of the day, middle of the night, ie mid-day and midnight. | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 1463262 | 2019-09-03 05:39:00 | Outlook (and Win) shows 12am & 12pm , in the scheduler. 12pm being lunchtime . I would have though 12pm would be midnight . I guess the 24hour clock makes more sense . Would be a bit crammed up on smallish watches though . The huge watches nowadays, no problems to fit 1-24 on the dial. |

| 1463263 | 2019-09-03 06:12:00 | I would have though 12pm would be midnight . Midnight is 12am because at the first stroke of midnight it is no longer pm but is now am. Surely that makes sense? |

| 1463264 | 2019-09-03 07:59:00 | Yes - she is good at copy pasting things and "appearing" to have written them herself! OMFG I haven't claimed to have said anything myself. can't be arsed pasting in references like I'm a textbook, because often it is more than one, bits and pieces from more than one. And we all have google. If you really need to know, as has been done, someone found the website all by themselves, in case they need to go read the rest of it. |

| 1463265 | 2019-09-03 22:17:00 | Meridian is an imaginary line of longitude from one pole to the other, used in navigation. Meridiem is derived from Latin and means mid day. That is why we have AM = ante meridiem, and PM = post meridiem. Look it up. Do not say meridian in this use, as it is WRONG. |

| 1463266 | 2019-09-03 22:59:00 | What does Meridian mean in time? The term meridian comes from the spanish meridies, meaning "midday"; the subsolar point passes through a given meridian at solar noon, midway between the times of sunrise and sunset on that meridian. |
