What is your date format ??

Month should be in the middle AFAIK! Can't believe the clever americans found a way to mix up 2013/01/06 with 2013/06/01 !!!

I use "yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss"

I only use DDMMYY unless forced to do otherwise. The americans and their MM first. Why do they always need to be different.
There is a reason why it should be DDMMYY, because days tick faster than months.
Where is a facepalm when I need one.

Because 11/9 just doest have the same ring to it. :p
 
I had previous issues with ERP databases and dates.

For example. ERP Database use yyyymmdd. User machine is in ddmmyyyy. Normal usage is still fine. No issues. But when the user wants to pull specific reports.... Caput.
Simple solution: change user machine date to yyyymmdd.
 
She must drive. I want no excuses for spending the night.
We do something interesting, but I tell her that we could have done anything. Being with her is the interesting part.
We have drinks, but I demand that I'll only have two, as I'm driving. I suggest if we drink, it's at my place.
We go back to my place.
I find a secluded spot to expel the massive fart that I've been building up all night.
At my place we have sex.
I suggest that she leaves as the morning traffic is horrendous. In as reluctant a manner as I can possibly act.
If she stays, she learns a few new rules regarding morning sex.
 
mm-dd-yy makes absolutely no sense and I hate it. Why would you put it in that order? When it comes to making appointments, prioritizing dates and all that there is no logical explanation for preference to this format, no matter how you say it in "English".

You may as well say the time is 36:55:10 (36 minutes and 55 seconds past 10 o'clock).

Stupid bar nothing :mad:

Stupid date format is stupid!

Totally agreed.

The correct way to do is it YYYY/MM/DD!

This is especially vital when sorting by date >.<'

This is one of my biggest bugbears - hate anything other than:
DD/MM/YYYY or YYYY/MM/DD

Yup, 100% agreed. When they start mixing months with the days then I get seriously confused... not that it takes much :p
