March 2nd, or 2nd March? Are both acceptable?
  

Top answer

You will see them both, but the second form is suspect. Use one of these more acceptable forms: 2 March March 2nd the 2nd of March

Both are fine. The second is common in print in British English but it is usually read out "the second of March".
