I agree that "dated" and "dated on" are different, and we should only say 'The magazine was dated Monday, June 18th, 2007.' "dated on" should mean the day that the date was printed on the magazine or product. For example, some product is produced every day of the week, but all the products are dated on Tuesdays.
Why do we say these things? (All are related to outdated actions/ history) ⚫ “hang up” and “pick up” for telephones – The earpiece of the oldest telephones (as seen in Mary Poppins etc) used to hang on the wall. ⚫ “turn on” and “turn off” the television – Old on/ off buttons needed turning.
