I am constantly confused with different date formats on the web and sites that never tell you which they are using. Which do you guys think is better?
If like me you think the European one is more logical, maybe we can bug Martin enough to change it

Personally i like Month Date, Year
Eg: August 9th, 2002Quitters never Win, Winners never Quit; but those who never Win and never Quit are generally banned EmuTalk members.

Well, I think International is better because I like it when people set a worldwide standard that simplifies it for everyone. But I just cant get used to it so I use American. Same thing for measurements, I cant get used to metric but I think its better.

er... thats what i use. Either have most significant to least (good for machine sorting, or least to most (easier for humans) - don't go e.g. MM/DD/YYYY, that's.... silly.

Yeah in spreadsheet/databases if your not using a pre-formatted date, then you should use YYYYMMDD for sorting purposes. I was once given the task of modifying a program written in MS Access and all the fields in the database were text. Very annoying, luckily they had used that format and made it easy to find information in the database sorted by date even if it was in text and not Integer or Date.
