2008年10月23日 · Hello all, A colleague of mine has a doubt about the usage of ordinal numbers in English. Which one is correct: 31st or 31th? 41st or 41th (of October) and so forth?

date - 31 de diciembre - WordReference Forums
2009年4月29日 · When spoken, the date will be "December thrity-first", or "December the thirty-first", or "the thirty-first of December". You can therefore write "December 31st" or "the 31st of December" -- as a matter of fact, that is the more formal and old-fashioned way to do this.

2008年12月29日 · It seems to me - but I could be entirely wrong - that when the date is written at large, we use the cardinal thirty-one instead of the ordinal thirty-first... which I more often saw written as 31st.

2020年8月7日 · You are correct with the first two, but there is no need for "on" to be so precise here.

2017年5月19日 · Hello, I am trying to figure out the difference between these phrases "for the year ended December 31, 2016 vs. as of December 31, 2016 vs. in 2016".
