Common Style for Date + Time
Let's assume the U.S. format is adopted. What's the common style to present date and time?
1, 2:30p.m. August 8, 2006
2. at 2:30p.m. on August 8, 2006
3. on August 8, 2006 2:30p.m..
4. on August 8, 2006 at 2:30p.m.
5. 14:30 p.m. August 8, 2006
I notice it seems Time Magazine and other journals seem to adopt certain styles. Isn't it? Which one do you use most?
Please comment. Thanks.

I like #2 and #4 (but I would put a comma after the year). #5 should certainly not have pm after a 24-hour clock reference.
