The above is just plain wrong...
05/15/2003 - US style
15/05/2003 - European style
2003/05/15 - Japanese numeric style
2003-May-15 - Japanese text style
15-May-2003 - UK style
2003-05-15 - ISO style
Personally, I find any of the last group to be perfectly readable,
but find the first group (especially the first two) plain confusing.
Best wishes from Riley.
