the 1900 curfew

[GoodTaste]

What is the 1900 curfew? The curfew started from 19:00PM?


======================
The phony protesters near Lafayette park were not peaceful and are not real. They are terrorists using idle hate filled students to burn and destroy. They were abusing and disrespecting the police when the police were preparing the area for the 1900 curfew. Jim, this is the new nihilism. See Dan Henninger in WSJ today.

Yes — 7pm, or as Americans prefer to write – 7 P.M.

But we do separate hours from minutes with a colon- 19:00 not 1900.

Not in military time. 1900. No divider.

Sorry- I was never in the military. I'm a colon softy. ;-)

I and a lot of British publications use a full stop as a time divider: 6.45am.

Right, but not in the '24-hour' form, right?

06.45

That would be odd, wouldn't it? I think so. I'd suggest a colon in this form.

I spent many years working at an airport and an international railway station so I'm very accustomed to the 24-hour clock. There was never a divider in flight/train times.

My train leaves at 1545.
He arrived on the 0910 from Paris.
You're scheduled to travel out on the 1624 service to Lille.
The 1015 Tel Aviv flight is delayed to 1425.

In standard, everyday writing, I use the 12-hour clock.

I'm due to start work at 3.45pm.
He got there about 6.30pm.
My shift starts at 7.30am.
If you leave at 9.30am, you should arrive by 4.45pm.

Yes. Every digital clock, timer and watch uses a colon. [click]

I didn't. I just did what I was told. And am wrong with the army and the trains. Bloody colons.
