abbreviation of the
Latin phrase ante meridien” means before noon. It is used to distinguish times from the two halves of the day where a twelve-hour clock or system of time notation is common.
Where twenty-four-hour
clocks are used, the abbreviations AM. and PM. are not used, since there is no possibility of confusing one in the morning with thirteen in the afternoon. Since English speakers who write in twenty-four-hour systems still tend to say one in the afternoon rather than thirteen the abbreviations still creep into speech even where the twelve-hour clock is no longer used.
The standard use of these abbreviations
has them follow the time, in small capital letters, and with
periods. Lowercase i and no periods are acceptable in many styles
and in less formal writing, though you should avoid confusion with the verb “am.”
Among, between. The preposition between is used only when you are talking or writing about two things or people. Among links more than two things or people:
“I split the assignment between John and Joan I divided the task among Joe,
Jean, and Jim.”
This simple rule changes if there are more than two things or people that are conceived as separated into natural or logical pairs There are four bridges between the three islands Writing There are four bridges among the three islands would suggest that the three islands shared four bridges that might or might not link one to the other, while the initial example means that the bridges run from one island to the next.
