Weird quirk of English... why do we say "6 o'clock in the morning", "2 o'clock in the afternoon", and "6 o'clock in the evening", but then we say "9 o'clock at night"? It doesnt sound right to say "at morning", "at afternoon", or "at evening". You can say something happened "in the night", but only in a non-specific way, like "she passed in the night". But "I go to work at 11 o'clock in the night" just doesnt work.

I use in or at interchangeably for either of those cases, now that you're forcing me to confront the truth
