I never get this right. Is that July 9th or Sept 7th? (month, day, year or day, month, year)

Courtesy (rare, I know, but that's the way we were brought up, and it's hard to give up) makes me display all dates in the format 7-Sep-12.

July 9 is Internet doomsday for computers infected with certain malware, or so say certain doomsayers. If you're clean you have nothing to fear.

Is this like when they thought computers wouldn't know how to make a second millennium or something different?

No. It's cos 7-9=12 mathematically in the binary system. 😀

Why not give your own opinion for a change.

Yes, something different.

This is probably a more helpful link since it points more directly to the most helpful web site instead of going through whatever nerd-news-site-of-the-day:

I doubt if "courtesy" is the driving factor here.

Here in the States we were brought up to prefer the July 9, 2012 version, which is what the OP meant, certainly NOT Sept. 7, 2012.
