So, if:
"Use British English rather than American English."

then why:
"Dates should be written 'day month date, year' as in 'Monday September 27, 1999'. Note the comma between the date and the year, and the lack of 'st', 'th' and 'rd' after the date. Also spell out the whole words for dates, don't abbreviate to 'Mon' or 'Sept', for example."

??

Surely it should be 'Monday 27 September, 1999'.
