English term or phrase: 5 August In einer PPT-Präsentation für den Betriebsrat eines weltweit tätigen Unternehmens habe ich das Datum mit "05. August" übersetzt. Der Korrektor hat auf "5. August" abgeändert. Was ist an der von mir verwendeten Schreibweise falsch? Ich bin seit Jahren gewohnt, bei den einstelligen Datumsangaben eine Null vorzuschalten.

5. August / 05.08. Explanation: Die Null darf nur bei der rein numerischen Schreibweise verwendet werden (05.08.). Bei der alphanumerischen Schreibweise (5. August) wird sie nicht verwendet. Siehe hier: "Die Null bei der Angabe des Tagesdatums, also 1. August, darf bei der alphanumerischen Schreibweise nicht mitgeschrieben werden (01. August ist falsch!)."

Regina Eichstaedter klar, 13:21 Aug 8, 2016  war ja nicht ernst gemeint... geht mir auch oft so! BirgitBerlin Germany 13:07 Aug 8, 2016  Auf dem Handy erschien dein Kommentar erst, als ich meinen gepostet hatte. ;-) Regina Eichstaedter um eine ganze Minute 11:04 Aug 8, 2016  Birgit :-) ;-) BirgitBerlin Germany 11:01 Aug 8, 2016  Regina war schneller... BirgitBerlin Germany Datumsschreibweisen 11:00 Aug 8, 2016  Ich würde, wenn ich den Monat ausschreibe, auch keine 0 davor setzen, nur bei 05.08. Regina Eichstaedter Das ist natürlich 10:59 Aug 8, 2016  etwas pingelig von dem Lektor, aber die Regel lautet, dass man die Null nur bei einem "Zahlendatum" davorsetzt, also 05.08 ja, aber 5.August... Automatic update in 00:
