Put the full date in letters, but some applications or documents, etc., will use only numbers. The correct way is the month first, the day and the year.

The correct way to type the day of the week and the date is by formatting it as follows: [Day of the week, abbreviated] [Date, in numerical format]. For example, "Mon, Nov 15" would represent Monday, November 15.

β 11y agoI think the one that is most clear for US readers is: Friday, June 8, 2012 for example.
Answer
It varies from place to place. Every major newspaper I've seen in the past 40 years follows this example: Friday, June 8, 2012. In many places, the date goes before the month, e.g. Friday 8 June 2012. I think that makes a lot more sense since it progresses from the smallest unit (the day) to the largest (the year). I think it would make even more sense to arrange it 2012 June 8 Friday, so that it would jive with our numbering system, which has the most significant digit on the left and the least significant digit on the right.
Dates that use numbers to represent months vary from place to place, too. The U. S. arranges the numbers month/day/year, while Europe arranges them day/month/year. I think it was Microsoft I first saw differentiating between the styles by saying that it would interpret short dates with slashes as month/day/year and short dates with dashes or hyphens as day-month-year.
Adding a zero before a single-digit month and/or day is not only a style preference for some but also a security issue, since it makes it harder for someone to change a date of a document or a check.

What is the correct grammatical format for calendar dates?
It depends on how you want to format the date. For instance, if you want the date of the month, then you would write: October 25, 2010 (just place a comma after the actual date) Full dates: Monday, February 14, 2010 (Day of week, Month Date, Year) If you're talking about the date with just numbers, then it varies. mm/dd/yy mm/dd/yyyy In this case, it kind of depends on what the writer prefers because there are so many ways to write it
Is it correct to use th after the date or before?
Usually, either can be correct. Consider: "It was the 25th of June." and "May 13th, the day it all went wrong." However, when using the contracted form of the date, it's not grammatically correct. Example: "It was the 25/6/09" isn't grammatically correct.
