This is a very pertinent question in Canada, where both dating systems are
used. Even the major banks cannot agree on how a date should be displayed.
The Canadian goverment uses the format year/month/day. I started using that
a few years ago. No one is confused, even if they think it is unwieldy.
If I am making a list of items in date sequence I use 20060324. If I am
writing a letter I use 2006Mar24. I never used to do it that way when I
lived in the US, but outside the USA, the American method of displaying dates
can cause great confusion, and may end up with the confusion costing you real
money.
Arthur,
I guess date formats are just like language and currency. Every country
has their own approach. Wouldn't it be great is we could "all just get
along" ;-)
