A recent post on X, formerly Twitter, sparked a wave of surprise and confusion as users realised the Latin origins of AM and PM. While some considered the question basic, many others admitted to never pondering the meaning behind the abbreviations, leading to an enlightening (and humorous) discussion.
The internet has gone into meltdown after discovering the real definitions of AM and PM, with some admitting they "feel stupid". Some things are so ingrained in our daily language we never stop to question their origins.
X, formerly Twitter, user @IAMTOINEJ started the conversation, curiously posting: "I might be called stupid after this, but WTF does 'AM' and 'PM' stand for?" One generous user commented: "I bet 5,000 people got the answer to that question from this post, when they didn't even have the question in them before this post. That makes it a great post."
