| Oct 11, 2018 at 3:00 | comment | added | gymnast66x | @linguisticturn didn't want to put a day because it was a few days and I didn't like the way the publication looked with numbers in the text; context of the publication didn't necessitate 100% proper English, I was just curious which was correct | |
| Oct 11, 2018 at 2:57 | comment | added | gymnast66x | @tchrist no sentence, it was only the "august 2018" I wanted on there -- was using it for a publication of sorts (which, in hind sight, I suppose makes it all a stylistic choice anyways) | |

| Oct 9, 2018 at 23:53 | comment | added | Andrew Leach♦ | Please specify the brand of English you're asking about with tags [american-english] or [british-english] (or something else, of course). Dates are markedly different on each coast of the Atlantic. | |
| Oct 9, 2018 at 23:36 | comment | added | linguisticturn | It is a bit strange that you wouldn't include the day. The fully spelled-out format suggests a highly formal context (like an invitation to a wedding/graduation/etc., or the date on a diploma), but such contexts normally require the full date. On diplomas, for instance, you'd say something like Given at Berkeley this twelfth day of June in the year two thousand and two. | |
