is it evening or night?

[speedy1125]

When do you consider 'evening' transitioning into 'night'?
I consider 'night' starting at 8pm.

this might sound like a silly question but when dealing with customers who wish to quibble over words, the difference can be a big deal.

I use bother interchangeably.
For the purposes of writing, I would use "dusk" as the transition period . :2cents:
But, what do I know ? :dunno:

To me it's day and night. Light or dark. If I were asked to define those things to a customer, I'd just give them a time.

in winter it gets dark at 5:30 but in summer it gets dark at 9. i guess youre right about the dusk part.

this ordeal began with a customer who gave me a bad check. i have been mr. nice guy until now, it appears they want me to be an a$$h0le
