Q u o t e:
In Europe it's DD-MM-YYYY actually. Well at least where I am from it is, might not be the same all over Europe.


Oh, ok, thanks for the info... ..

Q u o t e:
Which is more logical anyway.


It's more sequential, but, when hearing or reading a date it's actually more logically information driven to the way we speak dates to have MM-DD-YY.

In DD-MM-YYYY format you have to work to piece the information together.

Yeah the party is on 5-
"5 what? I have to wait for the next bit of info to give this any context."
11
"Oh ok, November. November 5th."
2010
"Ok, November 5th 2010."

In MM-DD-YYYY format it translates directly to the way dates are spoken (and thus thought of).

Yeah the party is on 11
"Ok, November"
5
"November 5th."
2010
"THAT WUS EEZIER"
