Dear Sir or Madam,

Thanks |

We don't just say "in a.m." I have, however, heard people say "in the a.m." meaning "in the morning." It's informal, but reasonably common.

dragn was in a sunny mood no doubt, but, chinagary,you must watch your spelling... friend
( i before e except after c, is a useful "rule" - although as always in English, there are exceptions.) |
