Best Answer

a.n. & .p.m. are the initials for the Latin words, 'Ante meridian and Post meridian.

Translated from Latin into modern English.

Ante meridian = Before Noon an Post Meridian = After noon.

There is no such time as 12;00 am or 12;00 pm . Because 12:00 is noon or midnight, it neither before nor after.

Such as time as 7:30 a.m. means ;half past seven in the morning. Similarly. 8;45 p.m. means 'quarter to nine in the evening'.

AM means 'ante meridiem', before noon, and PM means 'post meridiem', after noon. They are widely used conventions in places where the 12-hour clock is in standard use. Where the 24 hour clock is used AM and PM are not necessary, because every hour of the 24 hour day is assigned a unique value.

Since these abbreviations stand for post meridiem and ante meridiem, they are not proper nouns, and as such are not capitalized. Therefore, the correct abbreviations are p.m. and a.m.

The correct format for time will depend upon the style format you are using. A good format to use include, 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.

Both letters capitalized, no periods, one space away from the number. Like so: 10:00 PM. Something like 9 AM is probably also generally acceptable, but I'm not sure if it's formally correct.
