Well, it's actually my birthday, so if someone asks me when my birthday is, I say
"The fifth of April ".

By the way where do you write the date in letters before or after your address. Is there a special rule for it? Or maybe now you don't write your address on the right hand corner on the top.

Before the salutation, and to either the left or right margin. Contemporary practice prefers all text flushed to the left margin.

hello evry body
can you help me ?
what about 21/07/2009
what can I say ?
can I say : twenty first of julay
July twenty-first
The twenty-first of July
When it is 4/5 I would read it as the 4th. of May, for I feel that day/month/year makes the most sense.
Obviously, when it it 21/7/ it has to be the 21st. of July.
I just wish that the world, or at least Canada's banking system would make up their minds as to how we are to write it.
thank you for informations
Unfortunately, we don't all have the same sensibilities. The only solution is to use an alphabetical abbreviation or complete name for the month.I feel that day/month/year makes the most sense
