Re: Opinions on accessible time formatting

Wouldn’t the periods be needed so that the screen reader doesn’t pronounce them as words?  Or better yet, use capitals? AM PM

Hi,

I'm hoping I can get some advice on how expressions of time can be
accessibly formatted on web pages.

For example, is 11:00 a.m. or 2:00 p.m. considered (generally)
acceptable, or would 11:00 am or 2:00 pm (without periods between
letters) be preferable? Is another format better?

As far as I know, these are pretty much equal in reality.
