There is (more advertising than semantics) habit of naming dates according to the number and the initial of the month. Of course that in several languages there are initials that are repeated, so method is crap, but we already know that as used. Taking into account that the inquiry was made at the beginning of March, and that the 8 day is "women's day", I assume that who question saw it somewhere where referred to the 8/3. ((Or better 8/III; -))
