   Hi Tony,   
      
    HG> Sure does. In swedish or finnish we don't even have the shorthands AM   
    HG> and PM but have to use 'p† morgonen and 'p† kv„llen' to tell when that   
    HG> 8'oclock is.   
      
   Afterwards I recalled the shorthand FM that stands for the day before   
   mid-day and EM that stands for the afternoon but nothing for the morning   
   or evening hours.   
      
   TL> That's getting even clumsier. :)   
      
   Yes it is especially when people usually don't use them to specify what   
   part of the day is meant.   
      
    HG> I happened to get my license at the time of at the rising sunspot cycle   
    HG> in 1951 and when I moved to the Aland Islands 1957 it, #19, reached its   
    HG> record maximum.   
      
   TL> That was a long time before I was ever around. :)     
      
   I'm beginning to get the feeling that I've lived too long ;o)   
      
      
   Have a good night,   
      
   Holger   
      
      
   .. Someday we'll look back on this, laugh nervously, and change the subject.
