Our system goes by what is more important..
the month - cause it tells you what the weather will be.
the day - cause you need to know if it's a day off or two-fer-teusday.
the year - not important really, in day to day life.

You mean Julian, right?
That's another bit of confusion as people use the terms interchangebly. It's easily figured out by inspection.
Julian Day = Day of the year (0-366) - used alot in the military. You'll often see dates as YYDDD.DDDD
Julian Date = Days since Jan 1 4713 BC (today is 2454829) - Used mostly in astronomy. Very convenient in programming as well as you can just subtract to get the difference between any two dates.

the more important questions is: what do China and India use?
Why does it matter?
I know most Indians (in India) (since I don't know every single Indian in India) uses dd/mm/yy or some other similar format in that order. And I'm pretty sure China uses something similar as well.

What? Most Americans definitely seem to use mm/dd/yyyy, not dd/mm/yyyy.Originally posted by: JLGatsby

...........And that's how Americans do it....atleast most of us, from what I've seen.
That's how I've seen it most used.
day/month/year
yeah, we should switch over to dd mm yyyy or yyyy mm dd and start using the metric system. but people, in general, are too stubborn, so that will never happen.

:thumbsup: This is the first thing I change on PCs I have to use for any period of time. Sorting files by date actually means something in this format.

because those two countries will have the largest populations and are predicted to dominate the global economy of the 21st century?
I still don't understand that argument.
You still have to look at the end 6 digits, might as well look at the first 6 digits. I find that particularly easy. Meh, I guess to each his own.
We already know what year it is, so it's really yyyy-mm-dd but put the yyyy last because it doesn't change for 365 days.
^^Then it shoud havre been, "Actually not, the Indians will"...It's an American thing......J/K...
I don't write the date...people can look it up...
When I do, I write it dd/mm/yyyy, since my English teachers prefer this...

For all you people saying something similar to JS80, you guys must not be achiving stuff over a couple of years, even if it is just old school notes. You may want to know what year your stuff came from, for any amount of reasons, one of those being: which year did you buy that car or house or even iron.

You, as a reporter should know the implications of this. Assume you want to have a internet conference at some point. Let's say the date is 01/02/03. That could mean either 1st February 2003 (dd/mm/yy), 2nd January 2003 (mm/dd/yy) or 3rd February 2001 (yy/mm/dd). I know it's common sense, but when looking at logs, you may want to know what happened when.
