	CalifJim  #44417  Sun, 05 Sep 04 04:54 AM Well, of course, if you know the time exactly, "at 10 o'clock in the evening" would be the best way to say it! Your other choices are good (1 and 2). Other possibilities don't immediately come to mind.    CalifJim Joined on Mon, Aug 2 2004 California Veteran Member (16,538) "There are no facts, only interpretations" - Nietzsche

	demicjusz  #44423  Sun, 05 Sep 04 09:36 AM I f you use the word 'night', is it possible to be more accurate and say something like 1. 'early in the night' 2. 'early at night' ?    demicjusz

	Mister Micawber  #44434  Sun, 05 Sep 04 10:49 AM Those sound a bit unusual, Demi, but 'late at night' is common enough... at least for me.    Mister Micawber

	demicjusz  #44438  Sun, 05 Sep 04 11:07 AM And what would 'late at night' more or less mean? From what time to what time?    demicjusz

	Mister Micawber  #44442  Sun, 05 Sep 04 12:36 PM Couldn't say. Ten p.m. is late at night for me.    Mister Micawber
