Never really noticed before, But I was just comparing months from different years in adsense and noticed they use the m/d/y way of doing the date, isn't it only Americans who do this? (Apart from the 4th of July )
d/m/y makes more sense.

It is US ... but what makes more sense is yyyymmdd,. and will so continue for the next near 8,000 years.
In reality it makes little difference since parsing and such can set dates to your requirements and in my case I like to keep the years together by months and then days, and only moved to the yyyy when 2000 rolled around (had to update all previous reporting to that format since it used to be yymmdd). Then again, I have data that stretches back that far, and usually most folks are only interested in the changes month on month ... or smaller increments. Not me... that makes me nuts and I can't sleep at night if last hour wasn't better than the hour before.
