Capitalization: The Days of the Week, the Months of the Year, and Holidays (But Not the Seasons Used Generally) Days, months, and holidays are always capitalized as these are proper nouns. Seasons aren’t generally capitalized unless they’re personified.

The sentence which is capitalized correctly is “My easiest classes are Chemistry and Spanish”. Here “Chemistry” and “Spanish” are the proper nouns. The correct answer is option C. In option A, the word “Chemistry” is only capitalized leaving the other proper noun in lower case.

Time of Day – No. For example, in AP style, always write “a.m.” and “p.m.” Those are lowercase. You also write “afternoon,” “morning,” and “evening” as lowercase. Even when paired with a day of the week (Ex: Monday night), it’s still lowercase.

Words only In the most formal writing, such as contracts, invitations, plaques and presentation documents, it is usual to write out the entire date in words. Days and months are capitalized, but dates and years are not.

The international standard recommends writing the date as year, then month, then the day: YYYY-MM-DD. So if both the Australian and American used this, they would both write the date as

Date Format Types

Date/Time Formats

The day-month-year order has been increasing in usage since the early 1980s. The year-month-day order, such as the ISO 8601 “YYYY-MM-DD” notation is popular in computer applications because it reduces the amount of code needed to resolve and compute dates.

• DD-MM-YYYY. This is often the most logical date format to use, as it puts the numbers in order of significance.
• MM-DD-YYYY. This is often the common date format to use in the United States, as to why, I am not sure.
• YYYY-MM-DD. This format is pretty uncommon, although it is the most logical of the three.

The United States is one of the few countries that use “mm-dd-yyyy” as their date format–which is very very unique! The day is written first and the year last in most countries (dd-mm-yyyy) and some nations, such as Iran, Korea, and China, write the year first and the day last (yyyy-mm-dd).

The United Kingdom generally uses the date format DD/MM/YYYY and the United States of America generally uses the date format MM/DD/YYYY. So, depending on where you’re from, /b> could be interpreted as the 5th of March 2015 or the 3rd of May 2015, respectively.

The new format complies with GS1 standards. The expiry date is shown as a 6 digit code in the order YYYY/MM, where YYYY is the year, MM is the month (from 01=January to 12=December). An expiry code of 2020/08 means an expiry date of 31st August, 2020.

The code has two parts with the first 3 digits signifying the day of the year and the last digit signifying the year. Y will be 0 through 9 (0 for 2000, 2010, 2020 for example, and 9 for 2009, 2019, 2029, etc.)

Expiration dates tell consumers the last day a product is safe to consume. Best before date on the other hand tells you that the food is no longer in its perfect shape from that date. It may just lose its freshness, taste, aroma or nutrients. It does not necessarily mean that the food is no longer safe to eat.

The expiry date of canned foods usually indicates three years from when it’s been shelved, but you can consume them past the date for up to four more years. Make sure to keep your canned goods in a cool, dry spot though — and if there are any dents, rust or leaking, that’s when it’s time to ditch the goods.

Use by. You’ll see “use by” dates on food that goes off quickly, such as smoked fish, meat products and ready-prepared salads. Don’t use any food or drink after the end of the “use by” date on the label, even if it looks and smells fine. This is because using it after this date could put your health at risk.

If stored properly, food will be good even after its expiration date. Most expiration dates are “largely made up,” Business Insider notes. Food consumed after its expiration date might not be harmful to the body, assuming it has been stored properly, and bacteria likely hasn’t had time to start growing.

Consuming the expired foods (probably) won’t kill you, but it might not taste the absolute best. Here are some of the most important foods where expiration literally means everything. Unless, y’know, you’re looking forward to a massive stomachache in your future.

“If you do eat a food past the expiration date [and the food] is spoiled, you could develop symptoms of food poisoning,” said registered dietitian nutritionist Summer Yule, MS. The symptoms of foodborne illness can include fever, chills, stomach cramps, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting.

Food poisoning symptoms can begin as quickly as four hours or as long as 24 hours after eating contaminated food. People who eat the same contaminated food, say at a picnic or barbecue, will usually get sick about the same time.
