My bad. German dates... We write the the day first then the

the year.
Americans seem to read dates as "October 14th, 2013" which is
way they
write numeric dates in such an odd way :D.
Since I realized that is the reason for it I've been much
better at
noticing the location of a person who wrote a date down.
I've chosen to try writing dates using the ISO
2013-10-14
Always causes confusion, thus leading people to actually figure
out the numbers. :) Of course programmers don't have an issue
with it. Sadly, it can't be shortened:
13-10-14 or 10-14
I'm also ok with 2013/10/14 even though ISO isn't.
