    Yup.

    Interesting to know why American's (and many other countries for that matter) go that way? Does anyone know?

    Over in the UK, it's normally Day, Month, Year <smallest to largest>

    I'm puzzled by how other countries came about their Month, Day, Year format

    Month day year makes more sense to me...
    Like November 9, 2005. Not 9 November, 2005.

    Of course it does. We've grown up in the ways that we've been taught at school.

    But what makes more sense...

    Thursday 10th November 2005
    or
    Thursday November 10th 2005

    ?

    That's crackers and you know it. Americophile

    Logically the units should go in order of small to medium to large... i.e. dd/mm/yyyy.

    That's how it is. Month-day-year.
