"1st of January 1999"

When I lived in Canada I used the British DMY standard, now that I live in the States I switched to MDY.

Ignore it at your own peril. I work in the insurance industry, where some rates are based on your age. Getting the mo/date backwards could cost you money.

MM/DD/YYYY. Or for conciseness and confusion, MM/DD/YY. 😉

 

[eplebnista]

MM/DD/YYYY

MM/DD/YYYY FTW!

Depends. It's usually MM/DD/YYYY unless I'm writing up docs for clients. Then it's DD-MMM-YYYY

MM/DD/YYYY

Month, day, year. Day, month, year makes more sense though.

 

[nageov3t]

MM/DD/YYYY unless I have a reason not to (international clients, for example)

when in doubt, I'll just go Month Day, Year. no room for confusion.

Screw the metric system, us Americans are obviously smarter than you.

this is america. go by MM/DD/YYYY

the only time i do day-month-year is in the format DD MMM YYYY such as 10 SEP 2005

when there is no template given, i usually write YYYY Month DD or YYYY-MM-DD so it would be 2005 September 10 or 2005-09-10
