Time and dates

Follow the European/military conventions: dd/mm/yy, 24 hours.

  • dd/mm/yy (e.g. “11/05/21” = “May 11 2021”)
  • 24 hours time format (e.g. “20:45” = “8:45 PM”)

When writing a date in long-form, the ordinal form of the day can be implied.

Wrong:
June 15th
June 15th, 2021
15 of June

Right:
June 15
June 15, 2021
15th of June

Season names are always uncapitalized except when required by other grammar rules.

e.g. “I got married in summer.”

If in doubt, make it sound good rather than worry about being “right”.
