Is it normal that if someone says 'Ring me tomorrow pm' they only mean the afternoon, not the afternoon and the evening as well?

I tried to ring the person in the evening and they didn't pick up or answer my text message. Can't decide if I just don't know the proper definition of 'pm' or if they're messing with semantics in order to avoid having to admit they forgot I was going to call.

    Pm means afternoon and doesn't specifically count out the evening, but if it was business related it would likely discount the evening and i suppose personally it could as well. It literally just means not in the morning so whatever.

    pm just means private message. Sometimes definitions are confusing.

      That definition doesn't make sense with what OP's saying. The definition I'd imagine the person was using has to do with time. It's the opposite of am; I suppose you could describe it as hours 12:00-23:59 on a 24-hour clock.

        or it could mean that.

        I misunderstood what OP was saying.

        But I guess what they did try to say was probably to message them at around the afternoon/evening and such.

        Yes I realise there's two meanings of PM.

        What you must be referring to might be the case.
