How to Format Time

Q:

Dear Grammer Cop,

What is the proper way to list time in a document? 11:00am, 11:00 AM or 11:00a.m.

--Chrystal

A:

Dear Chrystal,

There really isn’t a standard method for this, and it varies depending on which style guide you wish to follow.

Personally, I prefer the Chicago Manual of Style’s 11:00 a.m.

Hope this helps!
