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.
