I noticed that I and Alexa say “six ‘oh’ five a m”, but is that the correct way of saying the time? Specifically the “oh” part?

Kind of like when speaking out a phone number, how we might say “my number is one two three, six ‘oh’ six…” but really, that’s not an “oh” like the letter O even though it looks like an O, but everyone knows the person is saying “six zero six”, which is the proper way of saying that.

    No 12/24h, only unix timestamps.

    On a serious note, anything that other people understand works. 6-oh-five isn’t a mistake but I generally hear “5 past 6” from most people.

    Whatever Alexa says is probably meant to be localizable to other languages as well.
