YMD will feel natural to any programmer so that doesn't count, programmers like order :) How do you verbally tell someone the date in conversation? September

YMD will feel natural to any programmer so that doesn't count, programmers like order :) How do you verbally tell someone the date in conversation? September 14th 2014 or 14th of September 2014 or simply 14 September 2014? Being in the US, the latter two feel long or awkward for me. Writing the date how we say it makes "sense" so I'm guessing outside the US dates are spoken differently?

Yes, they are. Great illustration of Conway's law.

you are right probably YMD won't feel natural unless you are a programmer. We say 14th September 2014. The most natural thing to you is the way you'd say your birth date out loud (regardless of language).
