Didn't you mean to say "...asked to consider citizens of the United

2 March 2003 is logical, natural to speech, and (so
long as the
month name is used) unambiguous.
I asked this question on a talk page, and I'm basically just ignorant
on this issue: is '2 March 2003' natural to speech?
Americans almost never speak that way. We would say "March the
Second, Two Thousand and Three" or "March Second, Two Thousand and
Three". We would never say "Two March Two Thousand and Three".
