Issue No 1: "1 April" or "April 1". WHO CARES? Anyone who can't count up on his fingers and decide "1 April" and "April 1" both mean April Fools' Day, please email me right away.
Okay, I'll e-mail you right away...
A month followed by a number means a month within a year, to me. In an article about Roman history, an unlinked date of the form "April 1" could mean April in the year 1 AD, and so could easily be ambiguous. Hope that helps.
