Specifically, I always understood that when the time is straight up, the ":00" is not used. Only when there are minutes should we write them out, even if there is more that one time used in the same sentence (9 a.m. or 6:15 p.m.). Is that correct or is it more important to just be consistent? And is there a correct way to write a.m. or p.m.? A.M or P.M.? Or either without the periods? Thanks Where would I find help in writing out time? Specifically, I always understood that when the time is straight up, the “:00″ is not used.
