Talk:ISO 8601
From Wikistix
Everyone should do this. I didn't realize it was an ISO standard and started using this order years back simply for the sortability of it.
The only time I don't is when I write my birthdate. Invariably, I memorized it the US way, and many of the forms in the US want it the US way.
Even so, I'll occasionally violate a form which is obviously not machine readable. xaminmo 12:52, 15 Feb 2006 (EST)
