months

When a month is used with a specific date, abbreviate only Jan., Feb., Aug., Sept., Oct., Nov. and Dec. Spell the month out when using it by itself, or when using it with a year alone.

Examples:

• The last day of class is Dec. 12.
• Spring break will begin on March 17.
• The building was completed sometime in July 2025.
• October is my favorite month.
• Thanksgiving takes place on Nov. 25 this year.
