How do you write the date?

[Snowfunk]

ddmmyy
Is how we normally write in Sweden.

Older people sometimes write it out differently.
I.e
6 Juli -16
In Sweden the number comes first. "6('e) Juli" instead of "July 6(th").

Sixth day of July is what is it is, July 6th doesn't make sense.

Exactly.

It's the 6th of the 7th (July).

Stop telling me July 6th. That is a lie. You can't fool me by removing 'the'. I learnt the months at school.

6th day of July, 2016....makes more sense.

Is that how you actually say it when someone asks you what day it is?

"Blimey, old boy...would you happen to know the date?"

"I do indeed know today's date, my good man."

"Would you be so kind as to share it with me?"

"Indeed. I would be most happy to do so"

"I am glad to hear it."

"Would you like me to tell you now?"

"That would be the dog's bollocks"

"Very well, I shall proceed to tell you the date immediately. It is the 6th day of the month of July, in the year of our lord 2016."

"I am in your debt sir"

[Imbalanced]

As an engineer, I follow ISO-8601. Anybody who does otherwise is objectively wrong from a scientific perspective. :P

(For the lazy, one valid form of ISO-8601 is year-month-day. So, the 6th of July in 2016 is written as "2016-07-06".)

And you are wrong from an actual perspective GTFO

No it's much simpler. We say 'it's the 6th' because we know what month it is because it's been that month for five days already.

Same in Finland. This question pretty much asks where you are from. Of course the american system is rather weird though considering it goes medium - small - large rather than the other systems used in East Asia(yyyy年mm月dd日) and rest of the world (dd.mm.yyyy)

If you seriously think about it, the American way is actually small/medium/large since there are only 12 months, that have anywhere from 28 to 31 days, in a 4 digit year. Smallest number is 12 medium number is 28 to 31, and then largest is 4 digits. We use smallest number, not time as a unit for determination.

And we say "It's July 6th" and give more information with the same amount of words because murica!

short german version would translate to 6th 7th 16 ( sechster siebter [zweitausend]sechzehn)

But you lie.

July 7th.
Not 6th.

[Kalis]

Probably not 100% accurate, but kekworthy nonetheless.

Heads up, we still those measurements.

What is the speed limit on a motorway?

How much do you weigh?

How far do you have to stand away from a free kick taker?

What units do beers come in at the pub?

Let's say the man in question just woke up from a coma...how would you tell him the date?

I would comfort him while shining a bright light into his eyeballs and leaning in obnoxiously close to his face.

We use that in Finnish, too. Kuudes seitsemättä kaksituhattakuusitoista.

EDIT: Except that in Finnish it's not "6th 7th 16", it's "6th of 7th 16"

Dd/mm/yyyy

Day/Month/Year. Its the most logical. From the smallest to the highest. Month is often not even that relevant.

[CptHandjob]

The logical way

Fantastic. That doesn't answer the question though.

[Jester Joe]

Friendly reminder nation bashing is against the rules. It's fine to discuss how you write the date, it's fine to debate what way is more logical, what isn't fine is flat out insulting other ways of writing it. Please keep it civil.
