Have you tried QuillBot’s free Grammar Checker? It will help you to pick up typos such as writing “good afternoon” as one word instead of two, for instance.
Don’t capitalize good afternoon if you are using it as an informal salutation in an email with someone’s name (e.g. “Good afternoon, Paula.”)

On a related note, what time is afternoon is sometimes a matter of individual perception. Someone on their way home from work at 5.30 p.m. when it’s dark outside might say “good evening” to an acquaintance they meet, for instance, while someone who is still at work at the same time, in the same town, might answer the phone with the greeting “good afternoon.”

QuillBot’s free Grammar Checker will help you to pick up typos in your texts, such as writing “good afternoon” as one word instead of two.

12 a.m., on the other hand, is also called “midnight” and is expressed as 00:00 in 24-hour clock.
On a related note, what time is afternoon is often a matter of personal perception. For instance, if we are still at work and it is still light outside, we might think of 6 p.m. as “late afternoon” rather than “early evening.”

The term dogfooding comes from the phrase eating your own dogfood, which refers to the practice of testing your own products before you release them to the public.
The term dogfooding is said to originate from a 1970s Alpo dog food commercial. The face of the commercial, actor Lorne Greene, claimed that he fed his own dogs Alpo. He tried to show confidence in the product by telling the audience it was good enough for him to use for his beloved pets.
The term was allegedly coined by Microsoft manager Paul Maritz when he sent an email with the heading “Eating your own dogfood” in which he motivated his team to use the company’s product.
In the tech industry, dogfooding refers to the practice of companies using their own products or software internally before releasing them to a wider audience.
