I hope that when this hits EU (if it hasn't already) that it sorts out the terrible lag issues I've had recently. Today's date is September 17th, 2012. Month Day, Year. That's how everyone says it, that's who came up with that... | ||

Most people I know say 17th September 2012. Maybe it's a cultural difference between Americans and Europeans. A bit off topic though ^^ | ||

I have never heard it said that way in my life, You would literally say It is the "17'th of September, 2012", as the normal standard here and id bet in most of europe. "Thats how everyone says it" is an arrogant and wrong statement unless you count "everyone" as being the population of the US | ||

I hope that when this hits EU (if it hasn't already) that it sorts out the terrible lag issues I've had recently. England came up with that. It was used there until the 20th century, apparently. There's nothing inherently wrong with giving the month before the day and doing so follows spoken convention (most people would say it's Monday, September [the] 17th, 2012 and not Monday, the 17th of September, 2012). The only problem arises when not everyone agrees to use it as the standard. Obviously, the small endian format (dd-mm-yy[yy]) is widely used around the world since, when not everyone shares a common language, there is a universal pattern (comforting!) in it. As always, the U.S. is slow to conform to international standards. Although I think switching to the metric standard immediately would've been awesome, I kinda like month first. When you work with recent documents, the month is the most informative piece of the date. | ||

In the US and I hear it both ways fairly often, not to mention some EU dude a couple posts above you just stated that everyone he knows in his area says it the other way. | ||

Well, despite living in Reading for two and a half years, the only time I've ever heard "the #th of Month" is in the poem about the Gunpowder Plot. As far as the United States goes, I can only say that I've never heard it said that way in California. Edit: Saying Great Britain is just as vague as saying the United States, so I got more specific. | ||

Point is, it's a regional thing. It's not a case of which is better, that's a ridiculous internet debate that's a waste of everyone's time and appears occasionally so people with nothing to do can argue over something pointless. The problem is that the EU server (and KR? I dunno, don't play there) used MM/DD/YYYY which is just confusing as hell if that's not what you're used to, never mind ambiguous for dates like 01/05/2012. If you're going to use a number format, you use the one used in the region (i.e. DD/MM/YYYY in EU), but preferably you just say "DD MMM YYYY" where MMM is a text-representation of the month, localised into the client's language, so there's absolutely no confusion whatsoever. As such, in text on the internet where it might not be clear, you say "17 Sep. 2012". But if they don't do that, they should at least localise. edit: or YYYY-MM-DD, 'cause I don't know of anywhere that uses YYYY-DD-MM. | ||
