    The Mexicans have this date business figured out pretty well so there’s no confusion between day and date. The month is always in Roman numerals. Thus, today is 19 IV 13. Bien hecho.

    Actually, Monty is authoring a compelling storyline here. Holy cliffhanger!

    There is actually an ISO adopted date format:YYYY-MM-DD, which as BlackKnight15 notes will sort properly..http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/iso-date.…and this comic actually made me laugh, which doesn’t happen often.

    I suppose it’s hard to make every day a winner. This one is simply boring. Note, that the conversation is about variations in date formats. The comic is too weak to hold our attention.

    Well … I guess the Yanks say “Tuesday, July 4, 2013” so 7-4-13 “makes sense” (like Fahrenheit and miles/hour)

    Being a big Trek Fan, I use YYYYMMD.D (i.e. Stardate 2013070.4")

    No. We use International which is YYYYMMDD and also DDMMYYYY. (depending upon the branch of the govt ).

    .And if you use MMDDYYYY on your cheques to Revenue Canada…. forget about any cashiers’ trying to figure out what you really meant. .You want MMDDYYYY – then don’t be lazy – spell out the name of the month. They were named for a reason.
