WTF IS GOING ON!

dd/mm/yyyy is more logical... like the metric system. But we are a bit backwoods in the US.

yeah but the mm/dd/yyyy follows speech order, for example, you say "January Fourth" not "The Fourth of January"

[Kralik]

The Fourth of July? Cinco de Mayo? Speech order in which country, language and time period?

[Elessar's Socks]

I like yyyy/mm/dd for sorting purposes.

for example, you say "January Fourth" not "The Fourth of January"

You might say that. We say 'The fourth of January'.

(Which is my birthday)

EDIT: Changed inches to feet, for Jerba.

[Jerba]

For the record, I dislike inches.

So when someone asks you the date you would say "the sixth of April?"

[TelTura]

no...he would say "eet's tha seexth ahv Epril".

[Kralik]

L3333, I wonder if things like "January 4th" are said that way because WE already write them that way. Speech based off of writing, not vice versa, perhaps.

I do like YYYY-MM-DD for sorting files as well.

Yes.
