Commas

When you write the date, you will need to use a comma. Here are a few examples: 


	June 6, 1999		January 22, 2004

	May 17, 1808		February 16, 2010
You may sometimes see the date specified in the following ways: 

	September 6, 2000
	09-06-00
	09/06/00
	Sep 6, 2000
There are even a few other ways to specify the date, but the ones shown above are the most common ways to specify the date in the United States. In order to easily translate between the all number way of showing the date and the full name way, you need to know the numbers of the months.
  1. January
  2. February
  3. March
  4. April
  5. May
  6. June
  7. July
  8. August
  9. September
  10. October
  11. November
  12. December
Often you'll see the date at the beginning of a letter or note. Here's an example of a short note with the date at the top. 

	11/23/03

	Dear Jane,

	I hope to see you in Las Vegas, Nevada, next week.
	We plan to have a great time and we'll try not to
	spend too much money on the trip.

	See you there,
	Raymond

Remember that there should always be a single space following a comma.
