i think some places have y-m-d

[Jon L. Obscene]

Yeah well that makes sense cos it's largest to smallest.

Thats what I don't get, they do Middle, Small, Large (m-d-y)
There's no logic to it.

Think of it like this, you go to a cafe and on the menu it says

Coffee.... Medium , small or large

You'd be like.....wtf?

[Barbarossa]

because when you write the date you go Month Date, year. (March 10, 2005)

So it would only make sense to do it that same way when writing it all in number form wouldn't it? (03/10/2005)

Well you might, but I'd tend to write 10th March 2005 ...

10/03/2005 ...

10th day of March in the year 2005 ...


I'd be one to favour the y/m/d format.. more logical if you think about it..

[sparsely]

please.
bury me.
with it.

[Snee]

I'd be one to favour the y/m/d format.. more logical if you think about it..

I'd say I was born the tenth of October 1979, but I use the y/m/d format when writing it 'cos that's the format used in our personal number thingies.
