How do you write your birthday in Spanish? In english you write the date, is it the same?

We Answered:

Well for your birthday you would say 'Mi cumpleaños es el veintiuno de septiembre, mil novecientas noventa y tres'.
And for the date, you would say ' el 14 de marzo, 2009'

How does one write the date in French?

We Answered:

Le mercredi 23 juillet =On wednesday july 23 th.... If you write it like this, you're supposed to continue the sentence (...I read, I dance...)
On the top of a formal letter, you write : mercredi, le 23 juillet 2008.
For a casual letter, you can write mercredi 23 juillet 2008.

Nathan Said:

Why are people writing dates like "29 October, 2008" instead of the normal English order?

We Answered:

I tend to use 29 October 2008 because I am an amateur genealogist, and it's a sort of convention among those of us who are interested in the hobby. It's also not far off from saying, "The 29th [day of] of October, 2008" as I would if I were talking. Its meaning is clear, and that's what is important to me.

how to write the date in english?

We Answered:

In British English we usually go Date - Month -Year and would write "On the 5th March 2008" although we would say "On the fifth of March, 2008." American English ususally has the month first, then the date, then the year.
