June 7 or June 7th

On June 7th, 2008, Mr. MacIntosh retired from the apple orchard.

On June 7, 2008, Mr. MacIntosh retired from the apple orchard.

I'm told the second is preferred and correct.

Also-

He will retire on June 7 (not 7th).

But-

He will retire on the 7th.
He will retire on the 7th of June.
If the month doesn't precede the day, I'm told that both of these are correct with the ordinal, correct?

Please confirm all answers.

Thanks.Emotion: wink

Hi,

On June 7th, 2008, Mr. MacIntosh retired from the apple orchard.

On June 7, 2008, Mr. MacIntosh retired from the apple orchard.

I'm told the second is preferred and correct. I see both, and consider them both OK.

Note that, even if you write 'June 7', you wouldn't say 'June seven'.


Also-

He will retire on June 7 (not 7th). Comment as
