    • Pretty much hit it on the head. Unnecessary to include Sunday unless you just want to be specific. Never hurts to the check the internet nowadays to make sure you're correct with your formalities! (Hell I had a buddy ask me how to spell 'balloon' a few days ago)
  • Ok, thank you.

    • Jeez, I'm confused now.

      How do we say it over here Cj?
  • Varies from system to system. Can't say about the US one.
  • Banned
    Personally, the Sunday is rarely relevant and I'd go with
    September 21st, 2014

    • Then there's the military option:

      21 September 2014 (and 'September' may also be abbreviated)

  • Haha, thank you very much for the answers. Always nice to know, that uh, we are all human.
  • Sunday 21st, September 2014
  • @ my forum, I use yyyy/mm/dd

    just to be different
  • How bout - it was the twenty first of septemeber, 2014, the clouds hanging low in the Sunday sky, and the smell of impending rain in the air ---

    After all, not reading the book, we have no idea how relevant Sunday is.

    Just saying...............................
