0 Hello. 02br
00If I write: I was born in April 8th. Should I pronounce it as: 02br
02br
00I was born in April eight. Or 02br
00I was born in April 01b00the02b00 eight. 02br
02br
00I wonder if 01b00the02b00 is used here in an old-fashioned way or it's just more formal or it's not used in current English. 0-
