Well in the non welfare state world we say Month Day Year and thats how we write it.

Here in the Workers Utopia time has no relevance, every day is like a holiday when you are contributing to the common good comrade. Here, have some healthcare and child benefit on us, we have plenty to go around (this offer expires 24/07/06).

In the communist dreamland of Germany, we use the day.month.year and accept that month/day/year is the imperialist way of numbering a day.

And if they catch you driving 180 in Sweden you won't be driving at all for a long time or you will be paying off a 2nd morgage to pay the fine /mrgreen.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="mrgreen.gif" />One-Man-Bucket wrote:QUOTE (One-Man-Bucket @ Jul 25 2006, 10:58 AM) Hooray for Europe circlejerking!

While im a big fan of the metric system and what not, how in the world is month/day/year a logical way to enumerate days?
The only way I can imagine it is that since you only have up to 12 months, a minimum of 28 days, and year has to be > 0, it kinda works from smallest number to largest. Unfortunatly, that completely ignores that a month is a larger unit than a day, and a year is a larger unit than both of the others...
Well, that and since we say things like "july 25th" instead of "25th of july", but I suppose thats completely dependant on how your language is set up.
