Greetings one and all

I’ve had problems having the word ‘midday’ understood to mean noon, when not addressing BE native speakers. When I’ve cited it as a scheduled time, I’ve been asked to clarify specifically what time between 12pm and 3pm I mean. This has happened with a wide variety of English speakers from around the globe, including AE.

Is it just in BE that midday means 12pm?

I’m in New Zealand, and I’d definitely take midday to mean 12pm…

AE really doesn’t use midday, and when we do (which is rarely), it seem that we generally mean the hours in the middle of the day (anywhere from 11am-3pm or so). When we want to say 12 pm we almost always say noon.

Yes, to an American, midday sounds like simply, the middle part of the day. Noon means 12 o’clock to me. Or even 12 noon. But I just realized something funny — if you say to me «midnight», I will instantly think of exactly 12 o’clock at night. It’s just a quirk of American English, I suppose.

I find nothing strange about the expression «midday.» Google returns over 8 million hits — certainly not all BE.

Maybe it’s one of those things that hasn’t been passed on to AE-speaking youth (which is another way of saying that it might be old-codger speak).

I don’t think «midday» is antiquated in any way, but from my experience in AE it’s rather general. I perceive it to be a period of the day spanning a few hours, such as «mid-morning,» «early afternoon,» «late evening,» etc. How often do you have occasion to say these phrases? Not very often (maybe in scheduling, or in local news reports), but they’re not antiquated or out of use.
I’ve never heard «midday» used to specifically mean «noon.»

I think Americans tend to perceive midday as the middle of our waking day, rather than the day’s mathematical center. I get up at 6 a.m. on most days, and try to go to bed at around 10 at night. That’s sixteen hours awake. Thus the middle of the day, as I experience it, is at 2:00 in the afternoon.

These views are as I suspected. I must admit that before now, the only time I’d considered ‘midday’ to mean anything other than noon is in Noel Coward’s song Mad Dogs and Englishmen — I’ve always thought that his use of ‘the midday sun’ could only be referring to the middle section of the day rather than the stroke of noon.

Interesting, though, to note that should I make an appointment for midday, the only other person I could guarantee would be there at noon would be my New Zealand friend!

Thank you all for your comments.

I’ve never heard «midday» used to specifically mean «noon.»

I heard a perfect example of AE usage this morning. A traffic reporter on a local radio station said, «there will be construction on I-95 throughout the midday hours today.»

I think listeners would understand «midday hours» to mean 11-ish to 2-ish. The term is deliberately vague because the reporter does not know exactly when the construction will happen, just that it will be sometime between late morning and early afternoon — the period for which the word «midday» is perfectly suited.

If she had said «at midday» (no «hours»), listeners would probably have thought in terms of a narrower window, closer to noon — perhaps 11 to 1. They would never imagine the construction crews poised at roadside, waiting to start their work precisely at noon.

Please read the thread question.
There are lots of other threads that talk endlessly in a fruitless attempt to come to a conclusion on the 12am/pm question. If that’s what oils your wheels, please go and find one.
This thread is about:
When is midday? Sometime between 12 and 3?
When I’ve cited it as a scheduled time, I’ve been asked to clarify specifically what time between 12pm and 3pm I mean.
Further posts on that topic are very welcome.
Further posts on other topics will be removed.

If you put it that way, is expected to agree with you, and conclude that has to be around the number 12, so, between 11am and 2 pm, should be called « midday».

This one is simple enough. Midday is specifically 12noon. Reason — If midnight is 00:00 then then midday is 12:00.

I don’t think this eight-year-old thread needed resurrection, but …

If «midday» means a point in time, it then would be zero length and such expressions as «out in the midday sun» would become meaningless.

The English language doesn’t work like that.

The English say it. Noel Coward said it:

[…]
The native grieve when the white
Men leave their huts, because
They’re obviously definitely nuts!
Mad dogs and Englishmen
Go out in the midday sun
[…]

Overwhelmingly I hear people in the USA use «12 o’clock». It is a bone of contention for me as it creates ambiguity. I always say «noon» or «midnight».

I agree with sdg. A «midday nap» wouldn’t be much of a rest either, and a «midday meal» would leave you hungry.

Velisarius and sdg — that’s funny! But not really relevant because we also say «midnight snack» but don’t mean you have to eat it between 12:00 and 12:01…

The English language totally works like that.

I think you and sdgraham are making the same point, Truffula. Midnight and midday are not usually thought of as single points in time.

Well, in AE «midnight» is often used as a synonym for exactly 12 pm: the phrase «the clock struck midnight» has been around for hundreds of years. At least in my experience, «the middle of the night» is used more often than «midnight» for the general time period.

But «midday» (or «mid-day»), referring to the «middle of the daylight hours», is used like «midafternoon» and «midmorning». It is a rough time phrase, not an exact time. I rarely hear «midday» used to mean «noon».

AE exact times: «noon», «midnight»

I think midnight is thought of as a single point in time, like noon. But that doesn’t mean everything described by them happens instantaneously.

Midday is a term I have seldom heard used (mostly in that «midday sun» thing quoted above) so really one just guesses what it means and everyone above seems right about it.

«Midday» and «midnight» are not exactly comparable — in particular, «midnight» indicates the end of one day and the beginning of the next, unlike «midday» which is just the middle of the day.

As always, a lot depends on context and the words used with midday/midnight.

In general, «I’ll meet you at midday» is likely to mean a specific point in time — 12h00.

Similarly, «Let’s meet at midnight» is likely to mean a specific point in time — 00h00.

But in many other contexts/uses, as already noted by others, midday (usually) and midnight (sometimes) may refer to a very approximate time, or rather a period of time of imprecise duration.

My midday meal is usually a salad sandwich.

I’m catching the midnight train to Georgia.

Ok, before I get to the days’ market happenings, is there a linguist in the house (and not so fast Dell Hymes fans)? Seriously, are there any cunning linguists out there to help me understand if Midday is one word, two words, or hyphenated? I googled it and there does not seem to be consensus so fuck if I know. I am sticking with one word, but reserve the right to change it.

Speaking of reserving (and yes, that transition was worse than Chastity Bono’s), Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard (and how bad does it suck to learn you can be a Fed Bank President but you have to be president of the one in St. Louis? Isn’t that like finding out you are going on a date with a Kardashian but it’s their long lost sister Khlamydia?) was out yesterday saying the Fed should keep buying MBS which has the market all a titter today (Whereas Christina Hendricks has the market all a titter everyday).

Not only has this Bullard guy rallied the market but existing home sales in the US were much better than expectations, so as long as the government keeps giving tax breaks, we’re all good, right?

Oh yeah, commodities are forming their bubble charts (the good part of the bubble, so get in while you can) as the dollar drops lower than Eliot Spitzer’s dignity.

The market is surging towards its 13 month high and yet the job market continues to go from bad to a little more bad and the economy still waits for the commercial real estate fall (so I am told). Live it up while you can, if you can, because volatility is likely here to stay. But for today, it’s all love.
