i don't need to be tough, i'm american that makes me right
seriously though, mm/dd/yyyy is way better. for one it makes sense here in america at least because we say "february 9th" and not "9th of february". it wouldn't make sense for us to say "february 9th" but write it 9/2/07
and also, it makes much more sense if you're trying to sort dates in ascending order.
for example, with month/day/year, a list of dates in chronological order will look like this
1/15/07
3/23/07
5/12/07
6/2/07
6/8/07
9/3/07
looking at the first number in the date, you have a better idea of where exactly in the year you are. oh, it's march. oh, it's april. etc etc
but if you put the day first, it's worthless. it's all
15/1/07
23/3/07
12/5/07
2/6/07
8/6/07
3/9/07
what? 23 doesn't come before 12? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON
oh, it's the 9th. 9TH OF WHAT?! GET TO THE POINT, I'M A BUSY MAN AND TIME IS MONEY YOU EUROPEAN BASTARD
