AM stands for Anti Meridian and PM stands for Post Meridian. They are Spanish words.
Is the above response typical of the comments found on these blogs? I think it is.
This outrageous reply sucks. And totally explains the reason I never answer or respond. But this display of ignorance is impossible.
The guessed at answer of AM is spelled incorrectly no senor?
And I am quite certain the terms are in the Latin vernacular.
So, please sir be gone & bother us no more with incorrect info. Shame on you.
Sincerely, Danny from Mesa (Spanish word meaning table)

Why use am and pm?
Habit, and convention. We all have to speak the same language if we're going to communicate. Personally, I prefer the 24 hour clock; so 1 PM is 13:00, and 9 PM is 21:00. Of course, I did spend 21 years in the Navy, and we used the 24-hour clock exclusively. But for talking to civilians in the US, you have to use the 12 hour clock with AM and PM.
