    This document compares and contrasts British and American styles of telling time. It provides examples such as "08.30 - A half past eight" in the British style versus "8:30" in the American style. The British style expresses the minutes first followed by "to" or "past" the hour, while the American style states the hour first followed by a colon and then the minutes. The document also notes that the British style is used in Indonesia. It explains that a.m. and p.m. are used in English rather than 24-hour time, with a.m. referring to midnight to midday and p.m. referring to midday to midnight.
