You people in everywhere else in the world write your dates freaky.  Clearly, it's 8/2, 8/3, and 8/4. 

Incidentally, August 6th should be x86 day.  Much like June 02 is Mol day.

I think that day/month/year and year/month/day are the only logical ways, because you're going from the smallest to the biggest.  It's the same reason that we don't say "5 hundred and 6 and fifty".

I think month/day/year is effective because a year is too general of a time frame to be useful but a day is often too specific.  Having the month prefixed is utilitarian.

That's true in many cases, but also untrue in a lot of cases. 

Either way, I prefer the logical style over the utilitarian style, but that's just me. 

Generally, I do yyyy-mm-dd, just because that makes it easy to sort and easy to find specific dates in a list.  But that's just me.

Hehe, I was just going to bring that up.
