> How do you say dates, by the way? I thought it might have something to do with how it's spoken, but I'm not sure. I don't say dates out loud very often... You *write* October 1 (or 1st?), for example, but don't you *say* "(the) first of October"?

We say "October First". Or, I do. Sometimes we put the ordinal first. We say "July Fourth" or "The Fourth of July", for example.
