You say "September 23rd" in regular conversation, not "the 23rd of September"

I get why day/month/year makes sense, but month/day/year is how you actually say the date in everyday conversation, so it makes more sense to write it that way to me.

I propose a compromise and changing it to year/month/day everywhere. Americans are happy with month before day, and other folks are happy with it being in order from largest to smallest.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

Sure, but everyone you talk with will give a small pause and small sigh when they realize you're the kind of person who would use that method.

I prefer MM/DD/YYYY, since Im used to it.

But it honestly isnt a big deal. I think YYYY/MM/DD makes the most sense, for chronological sorting.

I dunno where you got this number.

But maybe we should do away with months and years. Just go by days.

So since 00/00/0000, there have been 738786 days. So maybe that should just be the date.
