What do you prefer, with or without commas? (I know it's not the standard: March 25, 2002) 1) ... a title that never changed after 25th of March 2002 2) ... a title that never changed after 25th of March, 2002. I found evidence to support both, but would be glad to hear if some style manuals recommend one over the other. Thank you!
Definitely the second, though both sound funny to me. Perhaps "the 25th of March, 2002"? Is there a specific reason you're choosing not to use the much more common and colloquial "March 25th, 2002"? What is the more general context of this? Is this a research paper, narration in a story, character dialogue, something else entirely? The whole phrase sits a bit uneasily with me.
don't know why you're using such an odd construction... making more sense and reading more easily would be the simpler version below:
