How do you usually put in dates?

[MrMetroid]

I'm used to DD/MM/YEAR

 

[Howard]

Yup, me too.



I could never really understand the handful of countries who have the date format of MM-DD-YYYY and find it somewhat confusing at times.



DD-MM-YYYY makes a lot more sense to me, especially since most countries read from left to right.

 

[Nebulous]

In america we put it month/day/year

Makes more sense to me.



Today is June 10th not 10th June

 

[Howard]

Lol, unfortunately the US is in a minority there mate.



Today is the 11th of June 2010 or 11/6/2010 or 11/6/10 UK time BTW.

 

[Temerit]

Majority isn't always right

But I find this trivial, everyone should all agree to one or the other.



If you look at a year at a whole, it makes sense to pick the month first, and then the day



6/11



And then if you need to identify the year, which is necessary for only formal things usually, you can throw the year on the end. Doesn't matter to me though

 

[Sam.]

DD-MM-YY



That's how everyone does it over here.

 

[Novax]

Day/Month/Year



Today is the 11th June 2010

 

[The Dragon Master]

Day Month Year, like everyone in England does.

 

[GardsJr]

Gotta go with Day Month Year, a lot of the others just confuse me.

 

[MrMetroid]

Yup, me too.

I agree

 

[Evil Eye]

I just never do it

 

[Bluezone777]

Voted second option.

 

[Masri]

Since I don't say The Sixth of June and instead say June Sixth, I put it in MM/DD/YY.

 

[Poseidon]

Lol, unfortunately the US is in a minority there mate.

How dare you call us a Minority! I'll call the military over to where you live right now. Muahahahaha!



But yeah, it goes June 10 in my book. If it's in numbers, I like: DD/MM/YY, but if you spell it all out, I like MM/DD/YY

 

[Madyy]

June 11, 2010... MM/DD/YYYY



Although...I did get used to DD/MM/YYYY in Spanish class...but I say June 11th, not 11th of June.

 

[Kasynlie]

DD/MM/YYYY



Seems more logical to me to have the shortest period first. A day only being 24 hours goes first.

 

[Jazzy]

Month/Day/Year
