Garnett: Yes! 23/2 or (2/23 the wrong way round1)

How is that the wrong way?  


Americans put the date the wrong way round. I thought this was known.


Thats funny, I thought everyone else wrote the date the wrong way.

The mm/dd/yy format is used in Belize, Canada, Micronesia, Palau, Philippines, and the US. A mere smidge compared to the amount of countries and people using the other format.

The US way is more intuitive while the Euro way is more linear.

Everyone writes dates in longhand as mm/dd (ex: I went to the park on Feb 5th).

However, the Euro way makes more sense in the smallest to largest categories.

You speak for America there. In the UK, you would say "I went to the park on 5th February).
