1/7/10
Why in the world would one choose this as the date format, if not 'forced' to do so by faithful reproduction of an external title? It seems that even on SparkFun's site they would use 2010.01.07.
- johkra 17y agoI actually agree, it's very confusing. I'm European and I would write 07.01.2010. On topic: I, too, am Arduino shopping. First I though about getting a Spartan FPGA development board, but I honestly don't think I'll have the time to learn enough to make useful things with it. It's a really cool action by SparkFun and I hope it will be a success for them.
- aarongough 17y agoI'm Australian, but I work in Canada. I have never been able to get the date formatting here right all the time... Now, whenever I have to write a date by hand I make it impossible to misread. Like so: 01/Jan/2010
- dtby 17y agoDown vote at will, it's still incomprehensible as a date on first reading. And I spent most of my life in the US where this is the supposed 'preferred form.'
