It is important that we are on time for today's meeting on effective marketing techniques, so please pick up Bryan and I promptly at 8 a.m. to avoid getting in trouble with the boss.
It's important that we be on time for today's meeting on effective marketing techniques, so please pick Bryan and me up promptly at 8 a.m. to avoid trouble with the boss.
I'm not sure if a.m. should be lower case or capitalized. References online say it may be either, as long as you keep it consistent. Could you, please, confirm?
Olena, either is fine. But if you use the lower case, you need to add the periods (as you have). If you use the upper case, the periods are less important (and I prefer not to insert them).
