Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

legacy.skritter.cn

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

The different times of the day

Hey Skritterers,

as I keep getting in trouble with the daytimes - are all of the following true synonyms or do they have ever so slightly different meanings - at least colloquially or regionally?

Morning 早上
Forenoon 上午
Noon 中午
Afternoon 下午 / 午后 – difference?
Evening 晚上
Night 夜晚 / 夜间 – difference?
Midnight 午夜 /半夜 – difference?

Daytime (白天 ?)
Nighttime (夜间 ?)
