October 15 or October 15th

Should I say On October 15 or October 15th?
  

Top answer

Both are used in writing. October 15 is the standard in American English, but Britons use it, too. When I speak, I say: He came on October the fifteenth or He came on the fifteenth of October.

Not as much as they use the non-American date format, which involves putting the day before the month, which would be: He came on the fifteenth of October.
