True!

Or maybe better yyyy-mm-dd. as this is more unique.

cannot withstand to say that also Germans should switch from saying to numbers, e.g. 46
6-und-vierzig (deutsch)
but
vierzig-sechs (international)
like a lot of other countries (okay, except France

Quite a lot of programmers for logging and sorting purposes.

And who tells you the format, if you get 05.07.2012?
Is it 5th of July? As a lot german, european would say.
Or 7th of May? As american/asians would say.

But it is totally OT, and we should not continue this here ...
