YEARS and DATES in ENGLISH

Years:

From 2000 onwards, years are pronounced like ordinary cardinal numbers.

2000 - two thousand
2003 - two thousand and three

Earlier years are pronounced differently: the first two figures are a number and the last two figures are a number. They can be joined by hundred and, which is only necessary, however, if the last two figures are 00 through 09.

1999 - nineteen (hundred and) ninety-nine
1806 - eighteen hundred and six / eighteen oh six

If you want to give the year without an exact date, use the preposition in:

I was born in 1972.

To distinguish between dates before and after the birth of Christ, use BC und AD:

BC = 'Before Christ'
AD = 'Anno Domini' (in the year of the Lord)

Dates:

British English

In British English the day is usually put before the month. If you wish, you can add the ending of the ordinal number. The preposition of before the month is usually dropped. You can put a comma before the year, but this is not common anymore in British English.

Example: 5(th) (of) October(,) 2004

American English

In American English the month is usually put before the day. If you wish, you can put the definite article before the day. It is common to write a comma before the year.

Example: October (the) 5(th), 2004

Using digits

You can also write the date by using numbers only. The most common forms are:

Example: 5/10/04 or 5-10-04

Young Brazilians want changes now! Brasileiros jovens quer mudanças AGORA!

No pronunciamento da presidenta Dilma Rousseff do dia 21/06/2013 ela parece ter “esquecido” que um dos pedidos mais veementes dos protestos é o fim da corrupção que corrói o governo do PT. Por que será que ela “esqueceu” de falar disto?

O governo de gabinete desta senhora está por um fio. A indignação com a educação e saúde públicas é clara e os pedidos de fim da corrupção são agora o foco das manifestações. As grandes obras de infraestruturas como a transposição do rio São Francisco e a ferrovia Norte-Sul mostram para onde caminha o dinheiro no governo do PT... pelo ralo...

Há que se fazer algo AGORA! 10% do PIB para a Educação AGORA!!! Melhores hospitais públicos AGORA!!!

21/06/2013

Where is Dilma Rousseff? Where is the president of Brazil? The protests in Brazil are getting bigger.

Protests in Brazil are getting bigger and bigger. The population is unhappy with the heavy load of taxes any citizen needs to pay and the little that the population gets back from it. Inflation in going up and salaries are not going up as much as the inflation. Public hospitals do not work properly, public education is of bad quality, public transport is in chaos, the federal politics turn public interests into their own (like protestant parties and owners of huge amount of land heavily represented in parliament), etc.

As an example of the chaos, protestant parliament representatives are trying to diminish the investigative powers of Public Ministry and trying to mark homosexuals as sick people.

People are tired of the politics and waiting an answer from this Labor Party government, but president Dilma is unable to understand people claims and pretends she does not hear nothing. She seems apathetic and unprepared to govern. People knew that she got into presidency because of Lula's popularity and her government is not delivering what it should.

Dilma does not appear on public television to inform what the real measures are to control inflation and to improve infrastructure of the country.

The population was mobilized to put pastor Feliciano out of his position at Human Rights commission in the parliament, and Dilma did not say a word about it. She seems afraid of committing.

Now, what started as a protest against the rise of the price of public transport is turning up to be a huge demonstration of dissatisfaction with this present government and its lack of actions.

The commotion is generalized and there are protests in every middle size or big city in Brazil. Let's see where things are going to end up...and if Dilma will open her mouth to say something!

10% of GDP to Public Education NOW!!!

10% of GDP to Public Hospitals NOW!!!
