Which is correct Dinnertime or Lunchtime. Kids take their dinner money to school but use a lunch box for sandwiches. There is a TV programme called dinnerladies but none called lunchladies. You join the dinner queue not the lunch queue. You use the term Dog\'s dinner - not dogs lunch. Which is correct

The traction this is gaining proves I am not the only one exhausted by this linguistic confusion. It is draining to keep explaining these inconsistencies but seeing people rally behind this common sense keeps me going.

Growing up it was always called school dinners and we all queued up for dinner. Why change it now? People need to stop overthinking simple words.

Its definitely dinner. Always has been and always will be. Dinner ladies, dinner money, dinner time. Lunch just sounds wrong.
