| Doesn't work for us Brits, for whom it would be 01:02:03, 05/04/06. We'll have that pleasure on the 4th of next month.

| erh... 04 05 06? That's soooooooooo wacko. Month, day, year? What order is this in? Ah. American. Internationally, it was 06 04 05. Much less special, I guess. Or rather, it was 2006-04-05. Start using the international format, people. It really helps... *sigh*

| When you pronounce it non-numerically, what do you say? To me, it seems natural to say "April 5, 2006" — month, day, year. That's the only way I ever hear it where I'm from. So that's the order we use when we shorten it. Do they say "2006 April 5" or "5 April 2006" in other countries? I have to agree, though; I don't like the American shortening with numbers. Numerically, it only makes sense to go year, month, day. The most-significant digit is always on the left, and the least-significant is always on the right. It also makes alpha-numeric sorting with computers SO much easier! Alas, this standard was not made with math or computers in mind.
