The correct way to write English dates is spelling and abbreviation. The spelling method is to directly spell the English words of the date completely, which is usually used in official documents, contracts and other occasions. In daily life and writing, in order to shorten the writing length of dates, we usually use abbreviations. The following is the correct way to write English date abbreviations:
1. year
The year expressed in English numbers can be expressed in a complete 4-digit format or in a 2-digit format. Abbreviations generally use 2 digits. For example: 2023 → 231998 → 981976 → 76.
2. Month
English months can be expressed by full names, abbreviations or numbers. Generally, in abbreviations, the first three letters are used to represent months. For example: January → January → February → February → March → April → May → May → June → July → August → August → September → October → November → November.
December → December Note: In the standard English date abbreviation format, the abbreviation of month cannot have a period.
Step 3: One day
English and Japanese abbreviations are generally represented by 1 or 2 digits. For example:1→1st 2 → 2nd 3 → 3rd 4 ~ 9 → 4nd ~ 9nd10 ~ 31→/kloc-0 ~ 31st Note: Japanese abbreviations are generally not comma-free.
4. Omit the year or month
In some occasions where time sequence needs to be emphasized, the year or month is sometimes omitted. At this time, the horizontal line "-"can be used to connect, such as "6-23" for June 23rd. It should be noted that this abbreviation is only applicable to daily occasions, and cannot be used in official documents, contracts and other occasions.
In short, the correct abbreviation of English dates should not only pay attention to the abbreviation form of words, but also pay attention to their writing order and symbol use. Abbreviations should be avoided in official documents and contracts to avoid unnecessary ambiguity and misunderstanding.
