Another interesting poll, how do you write the date on paper? I write the wrong way, for instance this is how I'd write the date tomorrow:

11/10/04

I put the day in front of the month and than the year. Anyway, how do you write your date?

Sunday, October 10, 2004

I'm still attached to the American way (10-10-04)
but it's fading. (And I am aware that I've chosen to post on one of the days you can't tell the difference.

)

In my school book: Monday 1st February 2004. (or '04.)
Short form: 1/2/04

(Don't ask me why I used that date.)

I do the month, then the day, then the year.

But not in Spanish, I have to reverse it cause my teacher tells us to. Gah.

But I've been used to Month/Day/Year for my whole life so I think I'll do that for the rest of it. What difference does it make?

I usually do DD/MM/YY, but sometimes do the traditional MM/DD/YY if I feel like it.

Depends as if I am at somewhere that use the month/day/year system(eg. GameFAQs) then I will use month/day/year however since the British use day/month/year system I use that outside the internet and outside places that month/day/year system because I am British.

DD/MM/YY obviously. *nods* Well, not necessarily obviously, but yeah. I get confused otherwise.

Writing 10/10/04 doesn't help people

Iny my country its written Date/Month/Year...
But its confusing since my watch is month/date...

In my books, I don't need the year or day name just the month and day number.

So today I would write Oct. 10. I have no need for anything else.

It really depends on what I'm writing the date on.

Things for personal reference {i.e. class notes} : 11-10-04 or 10-11-04 {It varies.}
Assignments for English courses : 11 October, 2004 or October 11, 2004 {It depends on the teacher, really.}
Work : Oct. 11 or 10-11-04

Take tomorrow.

If I was writing the short version I'd say
11/10/04 or 11/10/2004

Otherwise I'd write
Oct 11th 2004
11th Oct 2004

You sorta can't tell with that date though.
