Chapter 11 DATES & CALENDARS General Information As we represent an international organization, we prefer the more internationally accepted norms. All dates should be given accord- ing to the British style and format. Dates should be written in the order of day, month, and year, without any intervening punctua- tion. However, if the name of the day is mentioned, it is separated by a comma, but if it is only the month and year, no comma is needed. See the below illustrations: " ■ The Jama'at was formed on 23 March 1889. The Jama'at was formed on Saturday, 23 March 1889. ■ The Jama'at was formed in March 1889. [Note: for strictly American publications, the US style sequences dates in the following order: month, day, year. For example, 'March 23, 1889. ] The numerically expressed styles for the date ‘23 March 1889’ are as follows: 23/3/1889 (British: day/month/year) ■ " 3/23/1889 (American: month/day/year)
