@tabeh0udai What if we change the word order?
Would 1st December be read as
The first of December,
First of December,
First December, or
all the above?
Thanks!

If you change the order, it’s just wrong and looks like a mistake. But it would be ready as first December

@tabeh0udai thanks for your help! Can I ask one more question, please?
What about I was born on 1st December, 1990?
Would 1st December be read as
The first of December,
First of December,
First December, or
all the above?
Thanks!

No problem. It’s still wrong in this order. If you want to put “1st” at the beginning, it must be in this format:
I was born on 01/12/1990
