+160 It's annoying how many different ways there are for displaying the date as numbers. Sometimes it's hard to tell if 03-04-01 is March 4th 2001, or April 1st 2003, or January 4th 2003. I'm no fan of standardization, but this is one thing that should remain constant, amirite?

wary My birthday is May 6 but amirite thought I meant June 5 and so I got all the birthday wishes a month late. I thought everyone just didn't care (cry2)

Agreed. It's April 3rd, damnit.

03/04/01 would either be March 4, 2001 or 3 April 2001.

It could be 3 April '01, 4 March '01, 4 January '03 or 1 April '03.

I haven't seen anything that uses a format besides Month Day, Year or Day Month Year.

I've seen year first, like 2012-01-02. With the South African ID number, the first six digits are your birthday in year-month-day format, even though we use -day-month-year. I suppose that makes it easier to work out someone's age - just by looking at the first two numbers.

Especially when you have no idea what country the person who wrote it is from so you have to guess if 06/07 is the 6th of July or the 7th of June.
