What does the a.m. in "10:00 a.m." stand for? Ghostofnemo 01:48, 19 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Found it! Abbreviation of Latin ante meridiem, "before noon". Ghostofnemo 01:50, 19 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
Um... why are you looking up A.M., when you should be looking up a.m. as per your original example?? I've reverted your edit. JamesjiaoTC 02:15, 19 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Latin, but with an English template. Which way to go? SemperBlotto (talk) 22:35, 14 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Well, anno mundi is an English entry. If the same abbreviation is independent of English it might merit changing to Translingual, but it might very well be SOP in Latin. At any rate, the part about the Jewish calendar doesn't belong in an "initialism of" entry, so that should be moved to the lemma or discarded as encyclopedic.
