Dates In correspondence and narrative text, dates are best presented with the use of numerals for the day and the year, but with the name of the month shown in full: 25 July 2012. Decades The standard form for representing decades in narrative text is: 1980s 1960s 1990s. Expressions such as 'the nineties' are considered colloquial and not recommended for standard or formal writing. Eras Shortened forms such as BC (before Christ) should be presented without full stops, and with a space separating them from the year: 100 BC. Glossary A glossary should start on a right-hand page. Centred Text Centred alignment is not suited to prolonged reading.
