Calendar date



Companies in Europe often use year, week number and day for planning purposes. So, for example, an event in a project can happen on w43 (week 43) or w43-1 (Monday, week 43) or, if the year needs to be indicated, on w0543 or w543 (year 2005 week 43).

The ISO does present a standard for identifying weeks, but as it does not match up with Gregorian calendar (the beginning and ending days of a given year do not match up), this standard is somewhat more problematic than the other standards for dates.

Expressing dates in spoken English

In British English, full dates are usually written and spoken as 7th December 2007 (or 7 December 2007) and pronounced "the seventh of December", with the occasional usage of December 7, 2007 ("December the seventh, 2007"). In common with continental European usage, however, numerical dates are invariably ordered dd/mm/yyyy.

In the United States, the usual written form is December 7, pronounced "December (the) seventh" or colloquially "December seven".
