Recently I received the following request:
"Could you please tell whether hyphens should be used to spell out times
of day? For instance, is 4:30 written as four-thirty or four thirty?
And is 4:35 written as four-thirty-five or four thirty-five? Four
fifteen or four-fifteen? This has been bugging me for years, and
through my writing five completed novels."
Being a foreigner myself, I have absolutely no clue. Any suggestions?
George.
