There's no need to pronounce (or transliterate, whatever) each number as it comes. Once you get used to any format it becomes second nature to interpret.Originally posted by: Fenixgoon

Why use a date format that can't immediately be translated into words?

Easy to read, sortable, appropriate for file and folder names. When used as files names format is self sorting.

dd/mm/yyyy is the more practical, but yyyy/mm/dd is not bad. mm/dd/yyyy makes little sense and is the reason why people get confused when reading other peoples Dates. mm/dd/yyyy would be like giving the Time as mm/HH/ss.

I think you are blowing it out of proportion. I would say that most people (at least in the USA) verbally say the date as something like, "March 12." Then along those lines people do have a tendency to write in a similar manner that they speak, therefore to write the date as mm/dd/yyyy mimics how many people speak.
Makes reasonable sense, regardless if you like it or not.
