can i say on the eighth of for writing a date
Even though we say June 8th, the correct rendering in writing is June 8.. Another correct option is the 8th of June.. If you would like to learn a bit more about this number rule on which all my style guides agree, read my ancient blog post from July 4, 2005--no, not July 4th, 2005. The rule has not changed since then. Happy June 8 (or June 9 if you are in the eastern hemisphere)!
