Well never actually looked at it in detail, you seem to be correct. Printed paper "La NaciĆ³n" and two university websites (1)(2) tend to confirm the "a.m." "p.m." format. But on line version of the same paper (3) uses "am" "pm" as well as other sites. I have not found an "oficial" statement. So my vote is for the "a.m" "p.m." format but I will ask in the local linux communities for input. (1) http://www.una.ac.cr/ (2) http://www.ucr.ac.cr/ (3) http://www.nacion.com/ -- Saludos Niko
