Let's come to an agreement here, world

How long before we join hands across the world and decide on a date format.  Many use mm/dd/yy but OTHERS uses dd/mm/yy.  Now, sometimes you can determine which one the other of the date is using because the "dd" section goes higher than "12".  Since we know there's no more than 12 months in a year, we can safely assume that the higher number is the "days" part of the date.  But let's say we have the date 10/08/09...is that August 10th or is that October 8th?  Or do I just have to research the author's culture to determine which one it is.

Come on it's 2009, going on 2010 and we haven't come to an agreement yet?  I'm willing to change the way I do it, if the whole world comes to a standard agreement.  I'm not picky, I just like standardizing.

 

oh and why we're on standard labeling conventions, it's "artist - song title" not the other way around!!!
