When the hour is a single digit and I insert the time from the Shorthand Glossary, it appends a leading zero, like this: 08:11 PM. Is there a way to omit that?

In the expansion window I use:

?%1I:%M%p?

It does not use the leading zero

Like Ross29 says, you need to make a custom date/time format.

Visit Spell Catcher Preferences, Spelling pane, Date/Time tab, add a new format, but where you don't want a leading zero to appear use %1I (other specifiers take %1 as well).

Open Terminal, type:

man strftime

for a list of (pretty much the same) format specifiers that are available to you.

It's easiest to build them up by clicking the Date/Time Specifiers in the matrix at the bottom of the window, then do any tweaks you need afterwards.

As always, hover the mouse for help tags.
