How do you write your dates?

I got a letter dated 4/3/05. I called the author and he mentioned something about March when the letter was written. Not April 3rd as I thought.

haha.

i do month/day/year.

 

[SelfBaisResistor]

Here in the U.S. we do Month/Day/Year. I think it maybe Day/Month/Year in Europe I believe.

Here in the U.S. we do Month/Day/Year.

Is that official? I know my school does it that way, but in Florida I have seen it the other way around.

Swedish standard is day/month/year, i guess it goes for whole Europe :thumbsup:

 

[Madness]

Its day/month/year here as well.
It can get a bit confusing sometimes when dealing cross US-Europe :teeth:

 

[IDupedInMyPants]

You crazy? I don't even call my dates back the next day. We ain't pen pals, *****!

 

[TurbulentTurtle]

I usually get mixed up when people do it that way, so i just write my dates like this:
April 26, 2005

I do month/day/year because that's how we do it in the US. I guess it goes hand in hand with us preferring to use April 27 over 27 April when we write out the months. ALthough I think day/month/year makes more sense when you are just doing numbers.

I think in the U.S. it's mm/dd/yy. but cool people go day/month/year

 

[Lord_Shinnok]

i do it the right way.

 

[Ace_wanderer]

I do it Day/Month/Year.

 

[VampiroXIII]

yearmonthday, the standard Marine Corps way, ex. 20050428.

American's say April 5th 4/5

European's say 5th of April 5/4

4/28/05

That's how I do it.

Them here Europeans like going from smallest to biggest: dd/mm/year. Despicable.

I personally prefer the mm/dd/year; it's easier to use. Especially when you have a list of several dozen dates, you just scroll your eyes down the months on the left instead of watching the middle intently.

2005/28/04 also works.

Edit: I had a teacher who used roman numerals for months. I found that to be rather neat.

Yeah you're right, it's a complex challenge reading dates over here :lol:
