To be clear for those playing along at home, while the canonical formuations are 1 m by 3 m by 6 m and 1 m x 3 m x 6 m, MOS currently makes an exception allowing 1 by 3 by 6 m (specifically in the case where all the quantities are in the same unit -- in this case metres), but no corresponding exception allowing 1 x 3 x 6 m.

A calendar date is a reference to a particular day, represented within a calendar system, enabling a specific day to be unambiguously identified. Simple math can be performed between dates; commonly, the number of days between two dates may be calculated, e.g., "25 March 2025" is ten days after "15 March 2025".
