Note
A plural that only the countable use of midday can produce. As a fixed point on the clock (at midday, toward midday) the noun is uncountable and takes no plural. Counted as a stretch of time that comes round each day, it takes an ordinary -s: long middays, the hot middays of summer. The form is comparatively rare and appears mostly where noon recurs or a habit is described.
