Reading Dates in English
How would you say the next date?
10-4-2010
the fourth of October, 2010
October fourth, 2010
Fourth of October, 2010
October Four, 2010
I know the first and second answers are right.
But can the third one be an answer, too? Some people say that when they fill out a form they use that way.
Also is the fourth one also used?It's grammatically incorrect, isn't it?
Please answer my questions.
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. but I wonder if the fourth one is on the test, would you say it's a correct answer?

Hi,
No, I wouldn't.
If I wanted to be really precise, I'd choose
October fourth, 2010
because that is the order that the date is written in, in your example.

That will depend on which English you use.
In the North American varieties of English (American English & Canadian English), dates are written and pronounced as month, day and year. The words the and of are normally omitted.
In the UK, they are day, month and year. The words the and of are normally included.
