[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 345861, member: 6546"] in my humble opinion, if you are writing the date in a sentence, I believe it is correct that the date should be spelled out (January 1, 2010). If you are writing the date in a list, the date may be abbreviated (01/01/2010) and then a dash may be used to note the relevent data. 01/01/2010 - Made New Year's Resolutions. vs On January 1, 2010, I made a list of New Year's Resolutions. I believe that is correct--but I am no "authority". English professors may feel free to correct me. --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
