Well, depends on what's the standard in your native country I guess. People are used to that.

I did not know about any standard as far as dates go. It would make it easier for all if there was just one way of the date being displayed. Although what ever you have become accustomed to would seem correct. Here in the states it has been mm/dd//yyyy since I can remember.
So it would be better if all dates were displayed one way.....at least I would not have to stop and figure out the date they are talking about.
Thanks

I am a french Canadian, here we use day/month/years.
The english canadian use ( i think ) and the US ( south of us ) use the way month/day/years.
So .. sometimes that can be difficult to get understood. But if you know that, ( i think most of french canadian don't know ), it's easy to make the conversion !

In South Africa we use the day/month/year format and the 24 hr system. Can't see that changing anytime soon.

Well guys, in Australia, we do DD/MM/YYYY. It's just that whenever it's possible I write the date as YYYY-MM-DD.  |

As a stubborn Swede (meaning most things goes wrong) this is at last an area where we are brilliant. yymmdd is since long standard in Sweden. Now since the Millenium festivitas yyyymmdd is getting more common also. But, alas, as *you* can't adopt to anything we have little or no use of any standards.
(yymmdd can be sorted by any application doing alphanumerical sorting btw.)

In England we write it as DD/MM/YY and in the USA it's MM/DD/YY and if it's early in the month you can never be sure whether a date like 01/12/06 is the first of December or the 12th of January
Writing the date as YY/MM/DD does mean that if you name your files by date they will all be sorted in order  |
