HELPFUL TIPS WHEN WRITING DATES IN Spanish

In Spanish dates are given in day-month-year form. All spoken and written, long and short forms follow this pattern:

October 3rd, 2003

3 de octubre de 2003

May 21st, 1997

21 de mayo de 1997

In Spanish day-month constructions (4 de julio, for example) are not usually abbreviated. In the rare cases than an abbreviation is used, the number of the month is not used, but its initial letter is. Usual examples are:

23-F

23 de febrero, date of a failed coup d'êtat in Spain (1981)

11-S

11 de septiembre, date of the attack to the Twin Towers (2001) (and

of the Chilean coup in 1973).
