Don't Capitalize
Unlike in English, months in Spanish (and their abbreviations like 'jun.') are usually written in lowercase letters unless they start a sentence.
The Trailing Dot
In Spanish, most abbreviations must end with a period (dot) to show they are shortened versions of a word.
Capitalization Error
Mistake: “15 de Jun.”
Correction: 15 de jun. (In Spanish, months aren't capitalized because they aren't considered 'proper names' in the same way as people or cities.)
