Well, duh, in my country we say “## of xxxxx”. In many other countries it’s the same.
But anyway, the format mm/dd/yyyy makes absolutely no sense.
yyyy/mm/dd I can get behind as it’s in nice descending order.
I never hear people add a “the” in the middle there. Might be a regional thing.
As far as what’s “correct” the BP below you is actually the most correct
The only Americans who write dates that way out of habit are those in (or formerly in) the military; most Americans use mm/dd/yy. Due to my computer background, I prefer yyyymmdd myself, though when writing a date for others to read I usually use dd MON yyyy. (E.g.: 24 Jun 2013)
So, does this count as a derailed thread yet?
yes we do, and I rarely hear Americans say June 14th compared to them saying June THE 14th.
However there is one more reason to put the day first, as it means the full date is in simple accending order; Day/month/year and allows for easier translation to all other formats. such as full year format and japanese reverse date setup.
… uh, no? America uses month/day/year. :V
Question, since you’re making fun of the date format. Do you refer to all the days of the month as the xth of y? Because that sounds clunky as hell unless its a special date. July 15th is a much more fluid structure.
FYI: Its called Month / Day / Year…
Perhaps you might understand it better as 15/07/13 or Monday July 15, 2013
