American date writing notes:

1. Maybe someone writes October 16th, or October the 16th

And then maybe reads it with the "the" in it. None of this is wrong, it's just rare.

2. The day of the week is always at the top, followed by the month and day, and then the year. If, but also detailed plus time. For example, what time and what minute, then it is at the end of the list. Let's take my date of birth, for example.

I was born on Monday, February 5, 1962 at 11:00 PM.

He arrived on Friday, May 10.?

3. Note the prepositions too. The month/year is "in"

Example: I was born in 1962.

My birthday is in February.

The date is "on",

The date is "in",

The date is "in".
