Preferred Method of Dating

[Ebowed]

I prefer Month/Day/Year, i.e. 7/21/05 or July 21, 2005.

Day/Month/Year; it is logical and looks better.

21/7/05.

The MOSt logical would be year-month-date, though. (05/7/21)

I've grown up with Month/Day/Year, so obviously I prefer it, just as anyone else will prefer what they've grown up with.  I personally think that it makes as much sense as anything; you can come up with a logical argument for pretty well any ordering.

I think there really should be a way to specify what you're using, though, because something like "07/06/05" is really, really ambiguous.  I always (when I can) write it as "July 21, 2005" because it's plain as day when written in that format.  In the number-slash-number-slash-number format I always have to remind myself which number is which.

I prefer month day year, it's always much better and it's how I grew up. So today's 7/21/05.

Agreed.  I always get confused when I read European dates.

Day/month/year, it's much more sensible.

With the opposite sex.

[Inmate Trump]

07/22/05

[Gustaf]

With the opposite sex.

So there was someone other than me who misunderstood the head-line at first glance...

I prefer to write it either 21/7-05 or 05-07-21.
