Comment on Is there a “proper“ way to say “6:05 AM”?

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.

May I ask where you live? Everyone I (American) know always says six o five, six twenty two, six thirty, and quarter after/quarter to six (but only on the quarters). Something past the hour is understood, but not common. I feel like when I do hear it, it’s from someone with an accent.

I live in Georgia (the country) and I am speaking mostly of internet experience. Yeah it could include non-native speakers, that’s why I mentioned “most people I know”. I still prefer the way you mentioned as it’s much clearer anyway.
