Tutoring Business English, date format is of interest. The tutor shows a date format available in English (United States), but perhaps not in English (Canada), in Microsoft Word 2007.

In my April 14 post I mention that I prefer the date format

April 16, 2017

because it gives no chance of misunderstanding. However, among the English (Canada) date formats offered, the closest seems to be

16 April 2017.

Clicking Insert, then Date & Time, the dialogue box that emerges offers a Language choice. Clicking the dropdown arrow, one choice is English (United States). Selecting that, the available date formats change to include April 16, 2017.

Interesting, eh?
