Saying dates
Hello,
Could you check if these dates are correctly pronounced? Should it be 'dash' or 'hyphen'? Roman one, or '/a?/'?
27/I-1980, twenty-seven, slash, Roman one, dash/hypen, nineteen eighty
4/II-1936 Four slash Roman two dash nineteen thirty-six
11/III-1908 eleven slash Roman three dash nineteen-eight
1/IV-1981 one slash Roman four dash nineteen eighty-one
29/V-1949 twenty-nine slash Roman five dash nineteen forty-nine
13/VI-1946 thirteen slash Roman six dash nineteen forty-six
14/VII-1959 fourteen slash Roman seven dash nineteen fifty-nine
12/VIII-1967 twelve slash Roman eight dash nineteen sixty-seven
4/IV-1966 four slash Roman five dash nineteen sixty-six
28/X-1965 twenty-eight slash Roman ten dash nineteen sixty-five
5/XI-1964 five slash Roman eleven dash nineteen sixty-four
3/XII-1927 three slash Roman twelve dash nineteen twenty-seven.
Thanks

Hi, Let's just consider one example. 12/VIII-1967 twelve slash Roman eight dash nineteen sixty-seven Roman numerals are rarely, almost never, used for dates in modern English. A Roman numeral, eg VIII, is simply said as eight, not Roman eight.
