It's been running non-stop since 12:00 PM, it's 7:46PM, and the temp
is still 83 deg, thermostat still at 80 deg. I would not have said
"hours" if it wasn't...


Hmm. 12:00PM implies twelve hours past midday (p.m. = "post meridian" = past
midday). That would be midnight. From there to 7:46PM means the ac has been
on for almost twenty hours.


Of course one could also say 12:00AM (a.m. = "ante meridian" = before
midday) which would also be midnight.


Sorry, 12:00PM is noon. Have a High School diploma?? Is English your
native language??


Lady, you are wrapped just a little bit too tght.


And you are wrong about the use of 12:00 PM to universally mean Noon.


I didn't say universally, I said about 99.8% of the time.


Then you are 100% wrong. Real people, (you kow, those of us with SATs
of 1500 back 47 years
ago before score inflation made scores like the one you boasted about
meaningless)
living in the real world understand 12:00 PM to mean Noon 99.8 % of the
time.

But with all your great knowledge and demonstrable interpersonal skills,
have you
gotten your AC working yet?

Yeah, I didn't think so.


?? You previously stated "And you are wrong about the use of 12:00 PM
to universally mean Noon." And now you say "Real people living in the
real world understand 12:00 PM to mean Noon 99.8 % of the time." The
second quote is a rephrasing of what I said, which was a reply to your
first quote.

Regarding SAT scores, I read they correlated about as well to IQ
(pre-1995 SAT) as different types of IQ tests correlate to each other.
I mentioned the SAT because a lot of people don't know their IQ.

I never boasted about my SAT score, and I never said what it was. I
only implied it would be higher than that, and the motivation wasn't
boasting, it was about compatibility.
