Talk:eleventh hour

Is it correct to include in the usage that technically, since thee are twelve hours in half a day, an action left until the last minute occurs on the twelfth hour, not the eleventh? That is, since the first hour past noon occurs between 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM, the Eleventh hour actually occurs between 10:00 PM and 11:00 PM, and the last hour is the twelfth hour, between 11:00 PM and midnight

(idiomatic) The final hour leading to a crucial moment or an important event.

How is this different from the usual sense? Is it suggesting a usage meaning literally the last hour in a 12-hour period? Seems unlikely to me. - Sonofcawdrey (talk) 09:54, 11 August 2019 (UTC)


 * To me, this seems an uneasy combination of literal "hour" and idiomatic "leading to a crucial moment or an important event". Mihia (talk) 22:10, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
