As for dates, I was raised using the month/day/year system, but later I
decided that it was crazy, so I went day/month/year. It is actually quite
useful, because it mixes text and numerals, making it easy to read. Say I
want to specify time and day:
13:30 Tue 17 Dec 2002
It's easier to read than any other method I know. Once you get used to
24-hour time.
