Poll: Day and Month Which Do You Put First?

[Infos]

The inconsistency of this aggravating problem was just brought home to me
when I had a rebate rejected because the company issuing the rebate uses a
different method than the store where I bought the merchandise.
I got it straightened around but now I have to wait another 4-6 weeks.
Rebates blow big time :disgust:
Future Shop uses dd/mm/yy
I think most people use mm/dd/yy

Input?

 

[maxoi1]

dd/mm/yy like all logical people who also use the metric system

 

[Haircut]

I use dd/mm/yy, this is what Britain and, i think, the rest of Europe uses.

America uses mm/dd/yy, which has really confused me sometime when I have read dates on American sites, especially something like 6/10, which could work both ways.

 

[yiwonder]

When I'm in the US, I use mm/dd/yy. But, when I'm outside the US, I use dd/mm/yy.

 

[LuNoTiCK]

Yea.. MM/DD/YY... In the US we dont use the metric system. I dont know what we use, but it's not the metric. It's a system that is really stupid but im used to it.

 

[Viper GTS]

MM/DD/YYYY

The only way to go.

I hate metric with a passion :disgust: :|

 

[gittyup]

mm/dd/yy

 

[GhettoFob]

<< mm/dd/yy >>

 

[trek]

dd/mm/yy
because it makes sense. most specific to least specific, not something random.

dd/mm/yyyy
if you were in the military, its 10JAN02

 

[Amused]

In common US English one gives the date as, "January 10th, 2002."

Therefore it is only logical that our numerical date would follow that tradition, e.g., 01/10/2002

 

[SpongeBob]

I use 10JAN02, so as never to confuse the people who would see 10-01-02 and think I meant October 1st, 2002.

 

[SpongeBob]

if you were in the military, its 10JAN02

I work for the dept of defense, that's where I picked this style up.

 

[Whitecloak]

dd-mm-yy

 

[ProviaFan]

Although I live in the US, I like to be different, so I usually write the date as this...

10-Jan-2002

 

[LoneWolf1]

Just to try and confuse everybody, I usually go with: YYMMDD

 

[gopunk]

i usually follow convention and go mm/dd/yy

HOWEVER
i really really really think that convention should CHANGE and become:

YYYY.MM.DD

that would make sooo much more sense to me. especially for record keeping purposes.

 

[jjones]

i dislike the US practice of using mm/dd/yy although that's the way i grew up doing it. since traveling and conducting a great deal of international business, i switched years ago to using dd/mm/yy because that is more common worldwide.
