Kako ne bi došlo do zabune, preporuka je da se datum kad je to moguće piše slovima, a ne isključivo brojevima.
Kako pitati koji je datum
What’s the date today? (Koji je datum danas?) - It’s 1st September. (Danas je 1.septembar.)
What’s today’s date? (Koji je današnji datum?) - Today is 27th September. (Danas je 27.septembar.)
