1 March 2007 or 1st March 2007?

Andreeasil · Mon Apr 09, 2007 11:26 am *1 March 2007 or 1st March 2007?*

Is it correct to write 1 March 2007 or 1st March 2007?

Thank you.

I was taught to use cardinal numbers for the date... 1 March 2007...except for formal announcements when ordinals are used and written in full...First of March Two thousand and seven.

I would write either March 1, 2007 or 1 March 2007.

I would not write 1st March 2007.

March 1, 2007

If you're feeling European (or Canadian or Aussie, though I am not sure of the correct form in those countries), it would be 1 March 2007.

You noticed which version I wrote first, though, didn't you, Tom? Laughing

By the way, don't computers the world over prefer a format similar to 2007-03-01. Very Happy

Yes, and I was damn proud of you for doing so.
