    America isn't logical? Month goes first because it has the lower values. 1-12. Days second because 1-31, Years third because very large numbers. Don't see how that isn't logical.

    That or it's "As long as you spell the month out, we don't give a fuck". If we all do that, then it doesn't really matter what format we use.

    As for me, MM-DD-YYYY.

    that's what I'm saying. They are useable here as well.
    But you shouldn't use them, because then nodody can tell which date format you are using.

    Day/Month/Year.

    Day/Month/Year

    Any other format is just barbaric. Why do Americans like to be indifferent?!

    Or, as Americans would probably say, 4/3.

    Obligatory "Any other way is stupid and I'm better than them" comment.

    It is the most logical we order it by smallest to largest numbers

    There can only be 1-12 for months, 1-31 for days, and practically infinite for years. You don't write the time of the day as 57:12 now do you?

    Users of the Mayan calendar that ended awhile ago?

    D M Y

    Makes the most logical sense to me, but does it really matter? Nope.

    I use Y/M/D

    If I write today's date as Jul.6,2016 , might as well be consistent and write it as month/day/year

    (non-american)

    Assuming you use yyyy and never yy there are 6 possibilities, the poll only has 3 options and an other.

    Sure if you have no concept of magnitude or units.

    Month/Year/Day

    Clearly makes the most logical sense and anyone that disagrees is a complete moron.

    Apparently "dd/mm yyyy", but I've written "dd/mm-yy" all my life. But my computer says "yyyy-mm-dd"
