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).

In  German speaking countrys too and in Czech republic too. 

Op: great but i would have bought the game no matter what score it gets. 

But hopefully this will drive sales. Infact its one of the most preordered articles in some austrian shoos

Come to think of it, in French, too.

Je suis allé au parc, le 5 février.

It's intuitive for YOU, because you are an American. No offense, but the rest of your argument is pretty much invalid as most of the  countries and languages I know do NOT use that "intuitive" way.

Well, think about this as well, if you want to tak about intuitiveness. I went to bed at 30minutes after 11. Isn't it more intuitive to say hour then minute? Because the hour really has a strong bearing on the minute, right?

 

Also, do you guys really talk like that? "you have a meeting on the 23rd of February" instead of "Feb 23rd"??

Again, you're letting your upbringing dictate here. The fact is that the majority of the world does not follow that rule. Perhaps Americans should re-think their use (not saying they should change it, but the "what the hell is the rest of the world doing"-vibe is a bit much)

My first post was "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." That's merely stating that a small amount of people use it, compared to the people that use the other method. Nowhere does that state or imply it is wrong. When someone then states it's more intuitive the American way, I reply by stating that it doesn't come across as intuitive to others because they use a different thought process.
