Unless I'm going to say: "OK my next utterance will be about a date:"
- then spout 2007, 14th of [what month? what Month?!? ... the impatient listener says to self]
- of ... July!
I can say, Out of the Blue
"Oh, on July 7 let's ____" (There! it's That Month and.. the date. Year is implicit unless added, "'0x")
(If THIS month, "Oh, on the 7th yada.."
(Or would you prefer, proximo / ultimo? / Enclosed please find..)
Short, direct - minimal suspense, fewest syl-la'-bles.
HTH
