Which format is more correct when writing date in UK? &quot;5 January 2019&quot; or &quot;5th January 2019&quot; and why? Should I use &quot;th&quot; at the end? What is the best way to write it?

How do you spell the following date:  December 6 (AmE)  6 December (BrE)  Do you spell this date as 'December six' or 'December the sixth' in American English?  And in British English, do you spell it as 'Six December' or 'The sixth of December'?

I know the rule is to use past simple when you specify the time when the described action happened, but I strangely dislike this sentence and I'm not sure if the rule applies:   "It's the best movie I saw this year".  Shouldn't it be: "It's the best movie I've seen this year"?  Please, could you justify your answers? Thank you in advance!  Cheers

I use UKenglish package. And the \date command produces the date like so: 10th October 2011. But I want just 10 October 2011; th should be omitted. How can this be done? I tried using datetime package. But couldn't eliminate th in the date.

My name is Tom and my friend's name is Anna.  Anna has a plan to go to Croatia in summer(she bought her flight tickets)  if I talk about her plans , is ''will'' or ''going to '' correct to use in the sentence?(when talking about someone else's plans)  A) Anna will fly to Croatia in summer.  B)Anna is going to fly to Croatia in summer.  if I talk about my planned actions 'going to' is used ,  EX;  I am going to fly to Croatia in summer (not I will.......)  which one (will or going to) is supposed to be used for the context above?

I would like to use the  package to format date(time) ranges.  For example, \DTMdaterange{2017-08-05}{2017-09-10} would output 2017-08-05/09-10 in ISO format, or something like August 5 to September 10, 2017 in US English.  I looked into implementing it myself, but find it a bit hard.  Is there any package that already includes this functionality aside from ?  I thought  might be a good candidate, but cannot find anything useful (I am mostly interested in formatting dates; times are not necessary).

Why can we use the following statement when we mean future events?     What time do you get there?   Or should we rather say:     What time will you get there?   Is there a difference?

Today, I received a mail from Steam and noticed that there was no preposition before the date. This is the part of the mail:     SPECIAL PROMOTION! Offer ends 26 Apr 2:00am KST   Shouldn't it be:     SPECIAL PROMOTION! Offer ends on 26 Apr at 2:00am KST   If it's okay to omit the prepositions before a date, are these sentences grammatically correct:     The gift will arrive 26 Apr 2:00am KST.   He sent the message 26 Apr 2:00am KST.   It happens every Monday 2:00am KST.

Background When a date is to be shown that is from this year it is shown as &quot;Mar 12&quot; for the &quot;12th of March&quot; rather than &quot;Mar 12 '14&quot;. While the full form is not what I'm used to (as a European) it is at least unambiguous. However &quot;Mar 12&quot; reads as &quot;March 2012&quot; to me and confuses me every time. Although I have (after months of pain) stopped misreading it I still feel the Parse Error: Needs Stack Exchange Mode and the slight pause as my brain tried to reparse it. The most recent example of someone confused by this is here . I was myself caught by this . Feature request Even for recent dates; once the date is shown at all show the full date including the year. So this post was posted on Mar 22 '14. This seems to have no downsides as it takes no extra space (there needs to be space for the long form anyway) and is much clearer to those of us who don't use an American date system.

I have seen some writing where people have a list or a figure in writing and they will write something like this:     The information is provided in Image   3:-   Is that correct? Is this a British style?

What is the difference between "I remember the day where..." and "I remember the day when..."?    I think both are used in both written and spoken English. Can we say that "when" makes more sense when we are talking about a specific point in time?

I've met the following phrase:     Something happened on February 12-25, 2010.    It means that some event started on February 12th and ended on February 25th. Actually the text was about the Olympic Games. Is it correct to use the preposition on here? And how should it be pronounced in oral speach? Thank you in advance.

I came across an English learner writing     It snowed hard Monday.   After saying that it didn't snow on Friday and Saturday.  It didn't quite feel right to me.  I'd be okay with     It snowed hard.   or     It snowed Monday.   Is it okay for there to be two things ("hard" and "Monday") modifying the snowing without an "on" breaking things up a bit?

Something's been bugging me about SO for a while now, that is the inaccuracy of "length of time" strings.  The best example I can give at the moment is .  If you look at the length of time he's been registered, it says 1 year.  He joined the site September 2008, which is only 3 months off two years.  It's the same with answers - you can give an answer 50 seconds before anyone else, but at certain times page views will show both as "5 minutes ago" or whatever.  That's not quite as bad, but with answers being sorted "randomly by votes" by default you could lose out on votes or being marked as the correct answer to the slower answer even if they're both the same.  There's probably a better method amongst these, IMO:   "Vulgar fraction" unicode characters     Member for 1½ years   answered 5¼ minutes ago asked 3⅓ hours ago  Different units   Member for 21 months (at least it's better than "1 year") Answered 306 seconds ago (ugly, I know) Asked 64 minutes ago (also ugly)  Combining units   Member for 1 year 9 months (fits easily on the profile screen) Answered 5 minutes 6 seconds ago (probably too long) Asked 3 hours 20 minutes ago (also long)  Rounding up   I personally prefer option 1, unicode fraction characters.  "Member for 21 months" is pretty good too because it's easy to quickly work out.  "Asked 452 seconds" ago is horrible though.  EDIT: I'm completely aware of the timestamp hover because I am forced into using it so much. It's a great feature, but it's not really in your face so not everyone knows about it. I still think there's a better "glancing" solution than having to hover over the time string.

I have some issues about choosing how to align a Date/time data type in a field. Which is the best way to align this type of date and why? Right or left? P.S We use WPF.  [------25.03.2015] or [25.03.2015------]  Thank you :)

Presently the date is showing as mmm dd hh:mm:ss. Is there any way that I can change it to as per my liking. For example : dd mmm, hh:mm:ss.

I was looking on the internet but really haven't found anything definite on this. I was writing a letter for IELTS practice and I came with this phrase:     "When I arrived to the school I really did not know what to expect.".   I'm doubtful about whether the "to" is well placed there.  I think the following option with "at" instead of "to" sounds better as in:     "When I arrived at the school I really did not know what to expect."   but I'm not sure if those two are interchangeable in this particular example.
