Date and time notation in the Republic of Guy

Date
The Republic of Guy uses the little endian form for short or long dates, and the middle endian form for only long dates. Frequently, short dates are written in d.m.yyyy format (1.1.2004). Note that the dot is placed after the day and month but not the year. Years are always written in four digits and the first day of the week is Monday.

For long dates, the format used is middle endian and the day of the week is usually omitted, but it is also optional to write it on. Usually long dates are written in mmmm d, yyyy format (January 1, 2004). Note that the dot is never placed in the long date.

Leading zeros in days and months are very rare to be found on.

Time
The time format always used is the 24-hour format, with colons as separators (3:59). Note that the 12-hour clock is never used in the country, and so leading zeros in hours are almost never to be found, so 3:59 may refer to 3:59 AM and NOT 3:59 PM (so, the 03:59 time format is very rare to be found in RG)

Times are however, in spoken English, said in the 12-hour format, always with AM or PM and from 00 to 09 (in minutes), oh is usually said to refer to the leading zero. Example: 3:05 may be said as three oh five AM.

Teletext services were coded out to omit the leading zero in hours too.
