Good morning, good day, good evening and good night, just choose the one that applies to you…
Do people realize just how complex the WWW and the Internet really is? And more to the point what terms are either useless or meaningless on here, for instance, there are currently 37 Different Local Times in Use including the 27 major time zones so the time of day is only relative to those in the same immediate area, also some are not even on the same day, check out the international dateline. So most of our everyday time-related terms need to be reviewed in this respect...

For me -- this is a "time free zone".....I can get on whenever I want to and not have to worry about bothering someone when they're busy or sleeping, etc etc... But then again, I'm on a deskstop - not a phone - so I don't have anything buzzing or beeping or whatever happens on the phones. 🙂

The users of this site aren’t as dumb as you think they are. Our languages are geared to speaking of our personal here and now —-locally—- and everyone knows that doesn’t necessarily mean their “now”.

I don’t see this as a problem.
