well alright but i mean when you have to give a date in month and day form. like if i were to ask "when did you get married?" or "when's your birthday?"

I'd say my birthday is September 23rd.

When listing dates numerically, the US system is MM/DD/YYYY

The rest of the world is pretty much DD/MM/YYYY.

Edit: Whoops, I was dyslexic there. Sorry.

What about 9/11 and all of the jokes about November 9th?

tracky · #**20736** 02-10-2007, 12:16 AM

You sure about that, DS? I think you'll find that's back to front

QueenAdrock · #**20737** 02-10-2007, 12:43 AM

It depends on my mood. I'll say 9th of February or February 9th. When writing it, I'll often write 2/9/07 because that's how it is officially, but doing inter-library loans at my work has gotten me to start writing 09 Feb 2007. I'd still feel weird doing 9/2/07 because that still looks like September 2nd to me.

I'm not very consistent.

hoy es el diez de febrero.

on the LSAT one of the sections is like, they give you a sort of logical puzzle then there are 5-6 questions associated with it. i was horrible at this section, despite how hard i practiced for it, so i ran out of time, and didn't even have time to read the last puzzle, so i had to guess for all 5 questions associated with it. i put down C for all of them

got 3 right

ok so i guess technically she is lying, but the point is i'm lucky

When putting several versions of a document in the same folder I use YYYY-MM-DD because that way it sorts them chronologically.

Just thought I'd share that.

icy manipulator · #**20751** 02-10-2007, 06:38 AM

does anyone actually know why it's MM/DD/YYYY is the US? i always say my bday's 1st of feb and what not

That's what I use as well.

Actually here in Sweden they write the date YY/MM/DD, so after the century turned to 00's it's pretty difficult to sifer the "best before" dates on groceries, depending where they're from. So today could be 070210 (Sweden), 021007 (US) or 100207 (rest of the world)....
