In all my time writing the date at school only one teacher has ever wanted us to write the date in the format

Then your teacher is a backward sadist, tell him/her to take a look at the ISO 8601 overview and consider purchasing the formal standard, the only excuse he/she can give is "tradition", and as any progressive/L+R person will tell you, is good for nothing other than some sentimental/emotional part of the frail human mind, ethical transhumanism FTW!

Well, didn't make it to bed first (actually, this is sorta staged b/c I missed the exact second, but I took it at about 1:02:20, so that's not too bad, is it?

I think I was in Imperial City... oh wait, that was Oblivion I was playing. Silly computer games.

I should have been doing homework though.

How unfortunate that the numbers never aline for the dreary inhabitants of Britain.

I think there are only two correct formats:

DD/MM/YYYY or YYYY/MM/DD

The MM/DD/YYYY format is just stupid as heck, and makes no sense at all. I also don't mind the DD/MM/YY format (short-year) but it can be less clear than the longer one stated above.

Actually MM/DD/YYYY makes the most sense. It provides the most useful information first, from left-to-right.

It's an argument no one is ever going to win.

Wouldn't 4 May work for Britain? Unless you insist on using 04/05/2006, in which case you've missed it by a couple of millenia.

How do you figure that MM is more useful than DD, and DD more useful than YYYY?

Well I've never referered to the date as April first two thousand and six.

For me the most logical is to have the date follow a natural order of accendency i.e. day/month/year

And thank god the US didn't re-arrange the time to HH:SS:MM
