    Which is what I said. If one isn’t going to use the 24hour format then one needs to explain whether they mean AM or PM. The poster seemed to think the PM as regards 10PM wasn’t required. It most certainly is otherwise the people (like myself) that always use the 24 hour clock could be forgiven for thinking 10 o clock is is two hours before midday.

    The point is that, if you say "10PM at night", either "PM" or "at night" is redundant. "10 at night" or "10PM" are both unambiguous.
