How would you pronounce…
“3 June 2010”
I keep seeing dates styled this way in Wikipedia and I just don’t know what to do.
Three June Twenty Ten
Three June Two Thousand Ten
If I were reading it aloud to my wife, I’d say, June 3rd twenty ten.
Other possibilities are also things I might use depending on the context.
Well literally it would be:
“Three, June, Two thousand ten.”
But that just sounds weird. Normally I pronounce dates like this:
“June third, two thousand ten.”
Being me, I’d sing (badly)…
It was the third of June another sleepy dusty Delta day…
Well, yes, so do I (June third), but when you see it in print as “three June” you gotta flip it around in your head and… well, I’ve always stumbled over this.
And obviously I assumed everyone would pronounce the year as “two thousand ten” and didn’t give any other options there. “Twenty ten” sounds all science-fictiony, and I left my silver jumpsuit with the fetching chevrons on it at home.
“Ladies and gentlemen! Please welcome! The Fetching Chevrons!” Haahhhhhhhh!
Third of June, twenty-ten.
I’d pronounce it the American way, even though logically it makes no sense at all.
This made me laugh as I actually call this Billy Joe McAllister day.
Anyhoo, I say “June 3rd, ough ten” or maybe even “ought ten” if I’m feelin’ persnickety.
Whatever format they choose, they day it represents is still june third, 2010.
June third, two thousand and ten.
Yes, I said ‘and’. Whatchu gone do about it??
Give you eighty and six lashes with a wet noodle 
3 June, Twenty-Ten; or June the 3rd, Twenty-Ten.
“The third of June, twenty ten”
If I was reading aloud a passage that contained this date, I would say “three June, two thousand ten” (or perhaps “three June, twenty-ten”), because that is what is written. I would also assume that the writer was European, though I don’t know if there is actually any basis for that assumption.
If I were simply looking for the date of some occurrence and saw that printed, I would probably say “June 3rd, twenty-ten”
This.
The third of June, two thousand AND ten.
Third of June, two thousand and ten.
I selected choices 1 and 4. It would be June third (June the third?). I selected 4 because I was thinking “twenty-ten” but on further thought, I never say that and I don’t really hear anyone else saying it either.
Third June, two thousand and ten.
