And don't forget that when the date is included in a sentence, a comma ALWAYS goes after the year! Example: On October 31, 2006, we had a big Halloween party. |

The proper way to write a date when it's at the end of a sentence. Should it be broken up? For example: . . . March 16,
2009. . . . . |

What is the correct way to write a date range in a sentence? For instance,
We will be camping from July 3-20, 2009.
or does it have to be split (July 3 to/through/thru July 20, 2009)
or does the from need to be deleted (we will be camping July 3-20, 2009)? |

My concern is when writing letters or reports. I was under the impression you would write Jan.1, 2008 as 1/01/08, but I see a lot of people write it as 01/1/2008 and while you may have to write all digits on a computer program to enter a date, I believe this is incorrect and would like to know if I am right. |

This is great, but how do you write 2008 with words for a formal invitation? Is it two thousand and eight or two thousand eight? |

Your use of grammer leaves something to be desired. "As an editor, I see a lot of grammar mistakes that people make consistently."
Try "grammatical mistakes" |

You say that there are only two uses for apostrophes. How about to pluralize letters, some numbers (though not dates, for some reason) words (as words) and signs? |

I just want to find out if it is correct to write December 12th, rather than December 12. I know that usually, the "th" is not needed because by default it can be sounded out as such. Therefore, the only time the "th" should be used is when referring to the date before the month, such as: the 12th of December. |

How would you write the following:
"The assembly will take place on October 31."
or
"The assembly will take place on October 31st." |

Such a common mistake, I'm online checking something I know to be correct, simply because it is so common I started to wonder if I'd remembered the rule wrong myself! I'm referring specifically to decades, just came across 'in the 1890's' in a text I'm proofreading - yet again! Apostrophes are the most annoying misuse in my opinion - thank's for pointing it out ;) (yes, that was deliberate, but it still pains me to leave it there! Years of correcting others takes its toll!) |

Thank you for clarifying the "date" issue. Time and time again, I see that people also write a date like this: January 1st, 2007. Each time I try to tell people it is not correct and they just stare at me like I'm from another planet. I can't tell you how many presentations I've had to correct that have improperly written the date. There is also a big Ford commercial going on right now - announcing in big red font "July 2nd, 2007" etc., etc. Wonder how much money they paid those people to do it wrong??? :) |
