Dates & Times

Dates

Use standard format (January 15, 2021). International geographies use their own standards. 

In general, spell out months. Three-letter abbreviations are acceptable when needed for space: Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec. 

Date Ranges

  • Use “to” when range is in a sentence (from 1918 to 1919, available Monday to Friday). 
  • All other cases use en dashes, not hyphen (1918–1919, 4:00.–5:00 p.m. ET, Monday–Friday). 
  • Use both numbers in date ranges (1918–1919 not 1918-19).

Time

Use full hour and minute, including time localization in parentheses. Capitalized with no periods, no spaces: 4:00 PM (ET)
