How to write a date in words

A written-out date has three parts: the day as an ordinal, the month by name, and the year in words. The order and small joining words change with the style.

British vs American order

British English puts the day first and joins it with of: the twenty-seventh of June, two thousand and twenty-six. American English leads with the month: June twenty-seventh, two thousand twenty-six.

The year, and the word “and”

Years are read as cardinal numbers. British style inserts and before the final part — two thousand and twenty-six — while American style usually omits it.

Legal and contract style

Contracts favour the day of construction: this twenty-seventh day of June, two thousand twenty-six, often with the figures repeated in brackets. For amounts of money rather than dates, use the number to words converter.
