Actually, it's 9/8/10.

  And that is why I hate having lived in different countries with different conventions for writing down dates.
  • pierrefar 16y ago
    Me too. It lead to good things though: 1. When I write (on paper) I always write the month in words and the year in full. So 9 August 2010 or 9 Aug 2010. No uncertainty there. 2. When I name files or folders, it's always YYYY-MM-DD.

      I believe YYYY-MM-DD is the international standard date notation (ISO 8601) http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-time.html http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-time.html One point which makes me love this one is that it's "easily sortable and comparable", which is great when you have tons of files in a folder.

      I do everything YYYY-MM-DD because it always sorts correctly and is consistent with ISO8601. MM/DD/YYYY is a most miserable convention.
