A.m. and p.m.: What do they mean? | Quizzland Trivia Answers

DerfiusMaximus

There are no correct answers listed. They stand for ante-meridian and post-meridian.

LaContessa

DerfiusMaximus, If the question was 'what do they stand for' you would be right because it would mean what do the initials exactly represent. But the question is simply what do they mean so the answer is perfectly ok.

Don Geiss, Personally I like to tell the time using the 24-hour clock. Makes things much easier

Don Geiss

the answer should be ante meridian and so forth...

Twie

It says what do they mean not what the letters stand for... so the question is correct to all the winers :D

Brock (+ sometimes Pamo)

DerfiusMaximus, the question asked what they mean, not what they stand for

Jamie Flynn

DerfiusMaximus, the question was what do they mean, not what the abbreviations specifically stand for.

Twiekah, Guys he is right...Reread the question it does say specifically what do they mean and not what they stand for. Even still not seeing the answer you knew to be what it stood for should have made you take a 2nd look at what the question was. Although I personally hate trick questions which usually result in me reading the question too fast and often answering wrong.

Shane

DerfiusMaximus, Yeah, there is. It still means before and after noon. It didn't ask what it stood for. It asked what it means.

Lola Chantelle

DerfiusMaximus, which means before noon and after noon.

Marciano

Please proofread your explanations. It's "meridian", not meridiam. So - technically - ALL your listed answers are wrong.

murph

Bob R, there is no o oo on the clock

B

So AM and PM should really be BN and AN

luke

DerfiusMaximus, I agree

Bob R

DerfiusMaximus, the translation is exactly that. Ante meridian - before noon and post meridian - after noon. So the question is perfectly good.

Cheryl

DerfiusMaximus, thank you. exactly what I was gonna say.

Tom

Actually, there are no such things as '12 AM' and '12PM'. Twelve is the divider between either AM or PM, much like zero is the divider between positive numbers and negative numbers.

Maestra

DerfiusMaximus, not “meridian” but meridiem which is literally 1/2 day in Latin.

Elena

Don Geiss, ante meridian and post meridian

Kathye

DerfiusMaximus, did you read all the answers? before noon-after noon.

Cotrem

Babzyboo

DerfiusMaximus, The question is not what they stand for but what they mean so there is a correct answer.

milladrive

Some of the people who submit these questions have zero clue.

Maria

DerfiusMaximus, yes but its translated

Player #36890939

AM. SUNRISE, MORNING! PM.SUNSET! EVENING! MY ANSWER WAS CORRECT! YOU KNOW IT & SO DO I! STOP CHEATING!

Player #28439074

I didn't know what that question was about

BowlHead

DerfiusMaximus, what they mean and what they stand for are two different things. If I asked what they meant, someone telling me "it means ante meridian" I'd say, "well what does THAT mean?"

Uninitialized

FrouFrouCushion88146

emma
