Many of the Slichos refer to the early morning time: "Ashmores Haboker", which is clearly not applicable to those who say late slichos (say at 8 AM) or who say it early at night (say at 10 PM, let's leave out the discussion of the appropriateness of saying slichos before Chatzos, which relates to another thread).
Should people saying slichos at other times remove such phrases? (It doesn't seem to be what is done commonly, and it seems to me like an inaccurate statement to say that "I have come in the early morning to beseech you" when this is not the case.)
Further, in today's slichos, it said "Shachar Kamti", and at the 10 PM slichos that I was at, they all screamed that out as usual without noticing the inaccuracy. After all, we were NOT "Shachar Kamti", (in fact we were not "Kamti" at all for slichos but were already up all day) but rather chose the questionable but very convenient 10 PM time! Should we have omitted those words?
