This isn’t one of them. Is this correct? Example: Sundays May 20 – June 17, 2012 Thank you.There is no particular rule covering this construction, but it is easier to read with a comma: Sundays, May 20–June 17, 2012. Can you tell me if the school of thought on this has changed over the years?There is no single right answer to this question. If so, where should it be placed? Such as one could say 4:30 in the morning, another four-thirty in the morning, and yet another at 4 o’clock in the morning. Can you please properly punctuate the following:Your sentences are confusing as written. Do you need to express the year completely or would IQ10 work?This is a style question. Thank you How do you write military time in a fictional piece? What is the difference? The following are correct:I understand the correct full date format should be: Saturday, October 8, 2016, at 3:00 pm.But what if I don’t want to say “at” a certain time?

An example in formal writing might be:I would be eternally grateful to you if you would please assist in settling this debate! Please indicate if you will or will not be able to attend.We will meet on Friday, March 6, 2015, at 10:00 a.m.Because I am using the number in a colloquial sense and cannot append a.m. if I am to maintain the rhythm and rhyme, I debated whether or not to use the capital to emphasise that the number refers to the hour. There is debate that the period should stay and some say it should go. Note that the day and date appear before the time. You could also express it as “Please be informed that we will have our strategic planning meetings on Friday, December 21 and Friday, December 28.”I would like to seek your help identifying which is correct in using comma.

I understand the part about writing it in words as Friday, May eleventh. Standard British English uses the day-month-year format without commas. The simplest (and correct) rule is to use the apostrophe before the decade to indicate omission of the century portion of the year and to always use an s alone, without an apostrophe, after the decade to indicate plurality.We understand your concern and don’t particularly like that apostrophe either; however, up until sometime in the later 20th century, constructions like Is it ok to write 3 pm to 4 pm or 3 to 4pm while writing in time schedules?Either is grammatically correct; however, we prefer writing Material created by Jane Straus and GrammarBook.com.


I’ve been struggling with this particular comma rule for some time now, and I’d really appreciate it if you could let me know if I finally understand it. The interviewer said, that was my problem when I applied as a call center agent. Thanks.The placement of a comma in your example is fine if you wish to put it there.In writing dialogue, I know you should spell out the numbers, but what if, when a character is speaking, I wanted to spell out something like “History 101”? Also, if there is a month, year and time, would it be: “May, 2017, 4:57 a.m.” or “May, 2017 4:57 a.m.”?It does not make sense to us to state a specific time written with only a month and year and no day specified.“There are three membership options: 24-hour, 30-day or annual.”Wouldn’t 24 hours simply indicate that the place never closes rather than the length of the membership? Example: Friday, May 23rd at 8 p.m. OR Friday, May 23rd, at 8 p.m. (personally, I dislike the addition of the ‘rd,’ ‘th,’ and ‘st’ in dates, but my company insists on doing it this way.) The Chicago Manual of Style is standard reference now for businesses (I think we even use it at our University) as well as published authors (or so I learned when I first began publishing back in 2002), and they disagree with your assertion that the apostrophe used in dates (years) and abbreviated nouns (DVD; TV) is correct American English usage.The proper way to write something like “It happened in the early seventies…” and “He borrowed my DVDs…” is 1970s and DVDs because even in those words, the apostrophe still denotes possession. The I was wondering what would be the correct (formal) way you would write a date if you are going to translate it to numerical numbers? Examples:Please tell whether this sentence is correct or not.We are guessing that you mean “The meeting is scheduled for August 12, 2015, at 10 a.m., in the auditorium.”I was born June 30 1986 in fresno California at memorial birthing center.I have a question. )We hope you do not embarrass easily because your last comment also contains a typo: How do we pronounce ’30’ here? Would it be proper to say “on or around November 16th” or “on or about November 16th”?We recommend writing “on or around November 16” or “on or around the 16th of November.”There are no rules that apply specifically to tombstones. I’m a former AP journalist.How to you write exact time with the date?
