Q.O.D. = every other day. Q.A.D. = every alternate day. Technically speaking, I would be hard pressed to find a difference.

AE really doesn't use midday, and when we do (which is rarely), it seem that we generally mean the hours in the middle of the day (anywhere from 11am-3pm or so). When we want to say 12 pm we almost always say noon. Oct 27, 2009. #3. boriszcat Senior Member Slovakia / Slovacco / Slowakei / Slovensko.
