<font color="#ffccff">Makes mroe sense tome with mm/dd/yy mainly because when speaking I say January 6th 1962 (my birthday :D ) not 6th January 1962. I can see why from a logical progression sense it would work as dd/mm/yy smallest period to largest..... I still like mm/dd/yy </font>

it's simply impossible to say something like January 6th in dutch
you just say 6 Januari and thats that
Januari de 6e would be just plain weird

and i thought that in german the prenounciation is DAy/Month aswell 6. Januar or something (not compleetly sure, since i never got a got any higher then a 5 for german on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest)

Being brought up with dd/mm/yyyy, I think it's odd to use mm/dd/yyyy.

It's just confusing [img]tongue.gif[/img]

So we are all agreed - it's just those dumb Americans ;) [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D and they are outvoted on this matter anyway :D

Yep!
make them pesky yanks go metric, use the correct dd/mm/yy tag, love taxes, give up on guns, hug the UN and fall into line with the rest of the world right now! [img]graemlins/blueblink.gif[/img]

Then we will go to war on new Zealand and make them talk proper

soon the world will march to my tune. MMWWAHHhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

Hey, it's not mandatory to love taxes and hug the UN just because you are using the right and only format for the date (thus being dd/mm/yy). [img]tongue.gif[/img]
If that were the case I'd support every other format right away (even the chinese one)!

Aargh we are losing! mm/dd/yyyy is my preferred writing. Writing 04/03/2003 seems wrong to me since I am used to 03/04/2003. And saying March 4th saves half a second in comparison with the 4th of March. [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]

did you all notice something? the date in Ironworks forum is using MM/DD/YYYY.

So I guess that those supported MM/DD/YYYY won! :D

This could be a valid conclusion...
Another would be that IW is using the wrong format. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I suppose it all boils down to how you say "the 4th of July". :D
