Yes there is, it's also called Noon. 12 AM is Midnight.

Legally speaking 12:00 am and 12:00 pm DO NOT exist and should NEVER be used in any contract, statute or anything else that could wind up in court (unless a specific jurisdiction has codified the terms, of which I am unaware). For example look at your car insurance card: most likely it states that the coverage is good from 12:01 am through 11:59 pm on dates in question. Now that doesn't mean there's a two minute gap upon renewal as it's legally understood that coverage runs from the very beginning of the day (12:00:00.0001- am) to the very end of the day (11:59:59.9999+ pm).

Asking whether noon is A.M. or P.M. is like asking whether the border between the United States and Canada is in the U.S. or Canada. It’s in neither country; that’s the point of the border.

They also spelled 'embroidery' wrong on their own shop's sign. Not a thing that exactly inspires confidence when you're in the signage business.

AM stands for Ante Meridian, which is before the Meridian.
PM stands for Post Meridian, which is after the Meridian.

Noon is the Meridian, there Noon is noon or 12 hundred hours.

It's like an ad for a spellcheck program that has spelling errors...

But how do you know they don't handle embrios as well? That's still a misspelling, but the letter sequence is right. The guys doing illegal abortions don't care much about spelling anyway.

I find it funny that it is spelled correctly in the window. (or so I think anyway)

'EMROIDERY' sounds like Droids encrusted with Emeralds. Imagine R2-D2 all kitted out...

Good catch Orm. It's spelled wrong in the window banner too. It should be embroidery...not embriodery. They put in the 'b' this time, but switched the 'i' and 'o'.

It does seem a bit odd that they are only open three hours a day. Even bankers would envy their hours. Of course, with all these screw-ups maybe three hours is all they can manage without going to pieces.

My brain changed those letter every time I looked at it. Last time I thought I really checked. Now that you mentioned the error I see it at once. [:)]

The horror of the lying brain. [:(] [:D]

Anyone see a problem here?

The only people who are truly interesting in spelling properly are witches and warlocks.

In addition to not using the old spell checker, one of the caps on top of the brick wall is loose - don't walk close to this building!
