Numbers & TimeThursday 23 July 2026

Instead of: "I will see you in two thousand twenty-six, July, the twenty-third"

Say: "I will see you on July 23rd, 2026"

Using ordinal numbers (23rd) and the preposition "on" (not "in") for specific dates sounds natural and is the standard way English speakers refer to calendar dates.
