What is the proper way to write out business hours when including the day and time. Is there a comma after the days, i.e. Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. Or is there not a comma after the days?

The goal is to avoid any misunderstanding. With that in mind, your example is perfectly correct. If you were listing this things on separate lines, Monday-Friday could be on one line and then the time could be on the line beneath--no comma would be needed in that case.

Yes it is grammatically correct to use the comma, however these days documents are getting more simplified.

In this instance when writing out the business hours there is absolutely no need to put the comma. It looks much cleaner and therefore efficient not to punctuate.

Normally the comma is not used on signs or brochures. I am sure you have one around or go to the nearest business and look at the hours on the door, no commas.

a million. those all use incorrect grammar. indexed below are some ideal sentences: The earthquake got here approximately north of Tokyo. The earthquake got here approximately to the north of Tokyo. (comparable meaning) The earthquake got here approximately contained in the north of Tokyo. (different meaning) The earthquake got here approximately at a region north of Tokyo. 2. comparable problem i choose the rightmost watch. i choose the watch on the right end. i choose the watch on the extreme precise. Exodus's solutions would by no potential, ever be spoken via an area speaker of English. you could desire to assert, "i want a watch fixed on the right end," if there's a team of watches and the entire team is on the right. you would be inquiring for between the watches from that team. in case you're saying, i choose the watch on the right end," then you definately are inquiring for the single watch it extremely is on the right.

Raymo51 is right. There is no hard and fast rule for this in grammar (which governs sentences), but your own example is perfectly clear. It's also consistent with what most professional businesses do.

If it's on a sign or something like that, it doesn't matter in the slightest.

All that matters is that it is clear and not subject to confusion. Your example is fine.
