What is Ordinal Numbers in English Dates about?

This document provides rules for spelling out numbers and dates in English. It explains that years are typically read in "two halves" (e.g. 1564 as "fifteen sixty-four"). Exact hundreds are read as a single number (1700 as "seventeen hundred"). Dates in British English are written with the day before the month (18th August 1987), while in American English the month is written first (August 18th 1987). Centuries are always written and said as ordinals (21st century as "twenty-first century").
