Afternoon

A few weeks ago I did a training on a Saturday morning.  The training was from 8am to 12pm.  The session was split into two 2 hour time frames so I understand the mistake.

What mistake?

On several of the evaluations that I collected in the comment section they said something to the effect: "The morning was great, the afternoon was a bit long."

• afternoon is a noun that means the time from noon until evening; OR the latter part

Okay, I give, "the latter part" would mean that they might be correct.  However, I would bet anything that they really didn't mean "the latter part".  I'm just saying.

What do you think?
