Advice for the Lit-Lorn

Dear Geist,

Which is correct, 4:00, four o’clock or 1600 h?

Dear Floria,

All are correct, depending on the context and preferred style of the publisher. If you don’t know the preferences, be consistent within the work. Most style guides agree that an exact moment (4:06) should be expressed in numerals.
