I don't think that's the whole story.  The only thing I changed with
Simon was the capitalization of AM/PM (they are capitalized by default,
and I changed them to all lower case).  This should not make the time
take up more space (if anything, it should make it slightly skinnier).
It looks to me like Simon is putting a space after am/pm.
