0Hi,02br 02br 00A short answer is that it's your notebook, so write it however you wish. 02br 02br 00How you write dates that other people will read and understand is an interesting question. Briefly, if you write in numbers, it can often be unclear whether you are writing day/month or month/day, eg 8//3/06.

0 In the United States, a teacher would typically write the date as February 10, 2006. If he or she is a bit lazy, then it might be written Feb. 10, 2006. The shorthand method for the same date would be 2/10/06. 0-

02br
00You asked about 01b00February 10th, 2006.02b02br
02br
00Sure, that's fine. Just a little bit long. The 'th' is quite often omitted.02br
