How to indicate a date?

Torsten · #1 (permalink) Sat Mar 17, 2007 10:17 am *How to indicate a date?*

Hi,

I've noticed that some people write phrases like "We'll meet on March 14." Has it become a standard to write the month and then a number when indicating a date? I mean, can you drop the "th" at the end of the number to indicate an ordinal number?
(March 14 instead of March 14th)?

Thanks,
Torsten

Hi Torsten,
As far as I know 'th' is often omitted nowadays.

Hi Torsten

Writing the day as a number (i.e. 14) without adding 'th' (i.e. March 14, 2007) has been the standard date format in the US for as long as I can remember.
