Heei,

I do'n't understand the date of a letter. Must the date always be so:
12 september 2008, London

Or must it be otherwise.

I don't get this, can you help me?

Unfortunately, in Canada, there seem to be three different ways to write it. Our federal government has year/month, day on their forms. Businesses also use month/day/year (VISA), and
day/month/year (Mastercard).
This can lead to confusion!
