Usage of commas in dates

日付に使用するコンマについて(I)

◎Usage of commas in dates

In American English, comma usage in dates depends on the date style.
If the date is given as month, day, year, then place a comma after the day and the year.

For example,
Thank you for your decision letter dated October 4, 2007, regarding the manuscript…
*Do not use commas when there is no mention of the day.
For example, Plutonium was discovered in March 1940.

In British English, comma is placed only after the year to set the date off from the remainder of the sentence.

For example,
Thank you for your decision letter dated 4 October 2007, regarding the manuscript…
