Answer 1

Dates in Written English
British English
In British English the day is usually put before the month. If you wish, you can add the ending of the ordinal number. The preposition of before the month is usually dropped. You can put a comma before the year, but this is not common anymore in British English. It is common, however, if the date is part of a sentence: The conference takes place 10-12 December, 2003.

Example: 5(th) (of) October(,) 2004

American English
In American English the month is usually put before the day. If you wish, you can put the definite article before the day. It is common to write a comma before the year.

Example: October (the) 5(th), 2004

You can also write the date by using numbers only. The most common forms are:

Example: 5/10/04 or 5-10-04

Note, however, that 5/10/04 usually means 5 October 2004 in British English and May 10, 2004 in American English. To avoid any possible confusion, you should spell out the month or use the abbreviation.

Answer 2

In the United States, we say the month first, date second and year third.

For example, March 8, 2005 is written 3/8/05

or, October 11, 2006 is written 10/11/06

We do not include the DAY (Monday, Tuesday, etc. UNLESS we write it out in long form, such as:

Wednesday, October 11, 2006 is acceptable

But never write:

Wednesday 10/11/06 That is just not done.


Most people NEVER use the DAY.

They just use Month/Day/Year, in that order.

Answer 3

England is different from United States: England has the day, the month and the year, while the United States has the month, the day and the year.

UK: today is Thursday, 21st September, 2006.
US: today is Thursday, September 21st, 2006.

For your copybook, I suggest you put an abbreviated version of the English date: Today is 21/9/2006.

Answer 4

Well, some teachers want you to "head" a page of notes, though they should have told you that. So you could write it like this:

Bob Smith September 21, 2006
Subject

Or you could do it at the left hand margin in any one of these:

September 21, 2006
9/21/06
Subject

I hope this helps.

Answer 5

I'm not sure what a copybook is but most dates in the US are written:

September 21, 2006

Other shorter ways are:
09/21/06
Sep. 21, 06

Answer 6

It depends:

09/21/06
September 21, 2006
09/21/2006
21 Sept 2006
21 September 06

your choice!@
