THE CORRECT WAY OF WRITING DATES ©® Santosh Kumar - Bhutan Often we neglect to write dates correctly. It so falls out because we are carefree about life or we don't bother about correctness. WRONG WAYS OF WRITING DATES 1. 20/12/2019 2. 20-12-2019 3. 20.12.2019 4. 20th December  2019 5. December 20th, 2019 All the formats given above are incorrect.
