Wy do we write dates day/month/year? I think the Chinese system of year/month/day makes much more sense. Do you have anything to say about that?
year/month/day is very good for filenames because it alphatetizes properly. but if you are speaking, there is little to no chance to change your mind about whether you are saying the long date or the short, casual date. where as with the european version you can stop yourself short at any time
