Why was "le 14 juillet" marked as nearly?

In a quiz, I had to write a few dates in French. I used numbers in all of them and they were marked correct.

However, my answer "le 14 juillet" was marked as "nearly", explaining that "le quatorze juillet" is correct.

Bonjour Rene,

From the lesson:-

"English dates use ordinal numbers (2nd, 3rd, 10th...) while French dates require cardinal numbers (deux (2), trois (3), dix (10)...) and NOT deuxième (2e), troisième (3e), dixième (10e)...:-"

This looks to me like the answer to your query.

Bonne continuation

Jim
