Amid the fifteenth and sixteenth hundreds of years


Amid the fifteenth and sixteenth hundreds of years, the 12-hour simple dial and time framework step by step got to be secured as standard all through Northern Europe for overall population utilization. The 24-hour simple dial was held for more particular applications, for example, cosmic clocks and chronometers, and timetables, particularly for line and carrier travel. 

In a few nations the 12-hour clock is the prevailing composed and talked arrangement of time. Different nations utilize the 12-hour check mostly in talked time, while the 24-hour documentation is composed. In many nations the 12-hour check is utilized as a part of discourse close by the 24-hour clock. 

In many nations, machines of course demonstrate the time in 24-hour documentation. Microsoft Windows and Mac OS initiate the 12-hour documentation naturally for a set number of dialect and district settings. 

The conduct could be changed by the client, for instance in Windows 7 "District and Language" settings. In Windows, AM/PM documentations are autonomous of 12 or 24 hour numbering, permitting the clock to show 16:18:12 PM, for instance. 

Most different dialects need formal shortened forms for "before twelve" and "evening", and their clients utilize the 12-hour clock just orally and informally.[citation needed] However, in numerous dialects, for example, Russian and Hebrew, non-formal assignments are utilized, for example, "9 in the morning" or "3 in the night". 

At the point when contractions and expressions are overlooked, one may depend on sentence connection and societal standards to lessen uncertainty. Case in point, if one calendars a meeting with a specialist at "9:00", one may mean 9:00 am, however in the event that a social move is planned to start at "9:00", it may start at 9:00 p.m. 

Minutes may be communicated as an accurate number of minutes past the hour defining the time of day (e.g., 6:32 p.m. is "six thirty-two"); when communicating the time utilizing the "past (after)" or "to (before)" recipe, it is ordinary to pick the quantity of minutes underneath 30 (e.g. 6.32pm is customarily "twenty-eight minutes to seven" as opposed to "thirty-two minutes past six"). 

Times of day consummation in ":00" minutes (full hours) are regularly said in English as the numbered hour emulated by o'clock (10:00 as ten o'clock, 2:00 as two o'clock). This may be trailed by the "a.m." or "p.m." designator, however expressions, for example, in the morning, toward the evening, at night, or during the evening all the more normally take after simple style terms, for example, o'clock, half past three, and quarter to four. O'clock itself may be overlooked, telling a period as four a.m. on the other hand four p.m. Minutes ":01" to ":09" are generally professed as gracious one to goodness nine (nothing or zero can likewise be utilized rather than goodness). Minutes ":10" to ":59" are proclaimed as their regular number-words. Case in point, 6:02 a.m. might be purported six goodness two a.m.; 6:32 a.m. 

In Britain, different traditions are utilized. Television mag, "Sun" daily paper, London, 17 December 2005 uses "twelve (12.00)" and "midnight (0.00)" in individual postings. Consecutive postings begin with a.m. then again p.m. as fitting, however these markers are not utilized once more, albeit in sub-postings "12midnight" is at times utilized. The London Daily Telegraph utilizes "12.00noon" and "12.00midnight" in individual postings. In successive postings the first program to begin after 12.00 is stamped "am" or "pm" as proper. 

he terms "a.m." and "p.m." are shortenings of the Latin bet meridiem (before midday) and post meridiem (after midday). Contingent upon the style aide referenced, the condensings "AM" and "PM" are differently composed in little capitals ("am" and "pm"), uppercase letters ("AM" and "PM"), or lowercase letters ("am" and "pm"). So also, "M" or "m" is a contraction of the Latin "meridiem" significance twelve or mid-day.

1 AM

Picture perfect memories,
Scattered all around the floor.
Reaching for the phone cause, I can’t fight it any more.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.
For me it happens all the time.

It’s a quarter after one, I’m all alone and I need you now.
Said I wouldn’t come but I lost all control and I need you now.
And I don’t know how I can do without, I just need you now.

Another shot of whiskey, can’t stop looking at the door.
Wishing you’d come sweeping in the way you did before.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.
For me it happens all the time.

It’s a quarter after one, I’m a little drunk,
And I need you now.
Said I wouldn’t call but I lost all control and I need you now.
And I don’t know how I can do without, I just need you now.

Yes I’d rather hurt than feel nothing at all.
It’s a quarter after one, I’m all alone and I need you now.
And I said I wouldn’t call but I’m a little drunk and I need you now.
And I don’t know how I can do without, I just need you now.
I just need you now.
Oh baby I need you now.
