If you think that's bad, wait until you see the crazy things people do with dates. Day/Month/Year is crazy enough, but then you have people using the nonsensical Month/Day/Year.

I hold out hope that one day we'll all be using Year/Month/Day, but given how slowly the metric conversion is going I hold out little hope (as a Brit I can't apologise enough for the imperial system).




+1 Year/Month/Day has the added benefit of making chronological ordering as alphanumerical ordering.
