[stylist] Tips for PR writing

[Judith Bron]

Just read this post again.  When it comes to months I think I read somewhere 
it goes like this:
His birth date is 4/10/90
She is having a surprise party for him on April 22 beginning at 9 PM

For the most part when identifying a month on forms or in a legal context 
you use the numerical month, day and year.  When identifying the month in an 
article or other written forms you spell it out.  Judith
