[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 345868, member: 6705"] Fluffy cats were shown by the testing on 1/2/1990. Actually there would be no comma when used in numeric format; however, "general" rule of thumb is that you "spell out" anything under 100. With dates it gets trickier, since the month gets spelled but not the day though it is always under 100. Commas are one of my pet peeves - those and misused apostrophes, as well as spellings.
