Christian Nielsen-Palacios: 3:36am Jul 7, 2007: I always write the entire number, because this only really works in the US. Even if it is "common" in the UK, it may not be right always, and the reader may be off by a thousand times in his understanding of the text.
esing: 12:27pm Jul 7, 2007: I think putting a "," in place of "." and vice versa may be enough!
