24-hour clock times have no a.m., p.m., noon or midnight suffix, and include a colon (15:30 not 1530). Hours under 10 should have a leading zero ( 08:15 ). The time 00:00 refers to midnight at the start of a date, 12:00 to noon, and 24:00 to midnight at the end of a date, but 24 should not be used for the first hour of the next day (e.g. use 00 ...
In traditional American usage, dates are written in the month–day–year order (e.g. September 26, 2024) with a comma before and after the year if it is not at the end of a sentence [2] and time in 12-hour notation (3:42 pm). International date and time formats typically follow the ISO 8601 format (2024-09-26) for all-numeric dates, [3] write ...
Write 12,000 for twelve thousand, not 12.000; conversely, decimal points are thus: 3.14, not 3,14 . Both 10 June 1921 and June 10, 1921, are correct, but should be consistent within an article. A comma is not used if only the month is given, such as June 1921. Avoid inserting "the year" before a year, and avoid "of" in items such as "April of ...

Avoid using two hyphens (--) to make a dash; and avoid using a hyphen for a minus sign. read ...
Syllabification. Syllabification (/ sɪˌlæbɪfɪˈkeɪʃən /) or syllabication (/ sɪˌlæbɪˈkeɪʃən /), also known as hyphenation, is the separation of a word into syllables, whether spoken, written [1] or signed. [2]
US is a commonly used abbreviation for United States, although U.S. – with periods and without a space – remains common in North American publications, including in news journalism. Multiple American style guides, including The Chicago Manual of Style (since 2010), now deprecate "U.S." and recommend "US".
24-hour digital clock in Miaoli HSR station.. A time of day is written in the 24-hour notation in the form hh:mm (for example 01:23) or hh:mm:ss (for example, 01:23:45), where hh (00 to 23) is the number of full hours that have passed since midnight, mm (00 to 59) is the number of full minutes that have passed since the last full hour, and ss (00 to 59) is the number of seconds since the last ...
Anyway, there are no spaces in non-scientific American style, e.g., 60°F. British style and scientific style use a space or half-space between the value and the degree symbol, e.g., 20 °C. I would recommend no spaces for an American-based article and spaces for a technical or British-based article. —Wayward 08:16, July 25, 2005 (UTC) Yes ...
