I like DD-MM-YY mainly because it is logical. You start at the bottom of the hierarchy and move progressively upward, rather than starting with Month, then going down to Day, then jumping up to Year. Unfortunately this falls apart with time. Theoretically if you are going to use DD-MM-YY, you should start with seconds, then minutes, then hours, then days, rather than putting hours, minutes, seconds at the end.

When I first moved here I got into the habit of writting the date as 8th July 2009 just so that I am not confused when I go back to it a few months later as I was in a transition stage from using the dd-mm-yy format to the mm-dd-yy format..

It seems to confuse some folks at first, but since I have trouble remembering what day of the week it is, I find it easiest to get the date out of the way first.

True that.. I think US and Canada are perhaps the only two continents that use an American format? I know I used the DD-MM-YY format every other place I have been to at least so it took me a while to get used to the MM-DD-YY format..
