Hello.

I prefer days/months/years. It makes sense.

DD/MM/YYYY as in SS/MM/HH/DD/MM/YYYY.

12/21/2012. Like that.

Months/Days/Years. This is arranged in a, non linear fashion? Because doing things out of order is hip and cool?
Imagine that you are looking up a date in a Calendar. You first flip to the month, then you find the date. Makes perfect sense. When you tell time, do you go Minutes:Hour?

Neither method is correct honestly, just roll with one and be mindful of the other.

Way to be super biased in the OP, and it's just the way we've been taught.


I didn't say that one was superior to the other.

SOMEBODY GETS IT

DDMMYYYY only makes sense in terms of increments. It is awkward and clunky in any sort of practical application.

Depends how you put it really.

You Can say: "It's the 20th of May, 2012". It's equally correct.

But that point above makes a lot of sense too.

I guess both work.

In that case you should have YYYY/MM/DD.

You wouldn't flip to the month, then find the date, then check the year.
