[GRM] HOW TO WRITE THE DATE

How to Write the Date in English

There are several different ways to write the date in English. They vary from formal to informal, and there are differences between British and American English. The following table shows some typical formats.

British: Day-Month-Year
14th March 1999
14 March 1999
14/3/1999
14/3/99
14/03/99

Tips:
Note that another format exists which writes the date numerically in the order Year-Month-Day, for example: 1999/03/14. This is rare in British or American English and used mainly in very official or technical documents.
