You have no idea how insane that drives me.  I'm in the US...I'm burdened with that every day. :)

I prefer YYMMDD or, actually YYYYMMDD. Primarily because it sorts correctly if
in a field treated as a plain number. Also...it matches the number system I'm
used to: bigger units on the left. :)

For clarity, since I'm in the U.S., I use YYYY-MMM-DD: 2002-Dec-12, so that they
don't confuse 2002-3-4 as being April 3, instead of March 4. :)

I was under the impression that many countries (I thought U.S. was the annoying
exception) use either YYMMDD or DDMMYY.
