Poll: How do you write the date?

[jamradar]

Wait every body dosent write month/day/year? I guess you learn something every day.

Day / Month / Year makes sense to me - short / long / longer
There's a chronology to it

This. It makes the most sense to do it this way.

Month/Day/Year is just bizarre.

I always write it MM/DD/YY or MM/DD/YYYY. But, almost everyone down here in Costa Rica writes it as DD/MM/YYYY. It's like an unwritten law.

19OCT10 is today's date.

 

[Naheal]

Year/Month/Day.

2010年10月19日

Attributed to the language that I'm learning at the moment.

lol, the third option is just ridiculous...

It makes it easier to store data chronologically, it makes more sense than MM/DD/YY and it's how they do it in China (which counts for something I guess)

hmmm... you are right...

the crazy Chinese are at it again!

I salute you good sir.

Day\Month\Year
I imagine it is most dependent on which country you grew up or currently live in

When I'm not sure about how to write the date on an official log, I just put "Supplemental".

It works for Stardates, it'll work for Earth Dates.

To use today's date as an example, if given no other guidance I would write 10 OCT 2010.

dd/mm/yyyy on paper, but if I'm writing for online consumption I write it long hand, like 25th October 2010 because otherwise those who write it in the strange and counter-intuitive way will get confused, and I desperately hate trying to work out what dating system people are using so I am considerate.

Honestly I think we should all jump up and down on countries that write the date the wrong way (i.e not dd/mm/yyyy) and do not use the metric system (all three of them)... that's a way I could get behind >.<

 

[Kenko]

The way it should be written Year/Month/day. Anything else is retarded.

 

[ClassicJokester]

Day/Month/Year.

Which makes me wonder why I write time as Hour/Minute/Second.....

 

[Daipire]

Year month day?

What is the world coming to?!
