No, conformity is boring. I'll give you that the other formats are more logical.
Month/day is an entity in itself. Today is more than just a day in December and not just the 12th.. it is December 12th.
Originally posted by HandyAndyThe choice of "Dec 12" or "12 Dec" is arbitrary. An ideal logical system makes sense in all cases. "Dec 12" is fine until you start including the year, so "12 Dec" should be preferred.

No matter - I was just trying to tweak the US-bashers. Standards often don't make sense logically. I am typing in a language that has twisted rules like "I before E except after C, except in words sounding like A, as in NEIGHBOR and WEIGH" (but that still doesn't account for the word SEIZE), on a keyboard that was designed to slow down even the fastest typist.
