dd/mm/yyyy is the way to go, imo

So what do you say if asked your date of birth?

In my case I would say - 'The Second Of The Seventh, Eighty Four.'
If I said it the American way would I have to say? 'The Seventh Month And The Second Day Of Eighty Four' ... It just does not sit right with me.

EDIT: It's not that the differences 'really' bother me. I just think some things are silly because they are not logical to me. I guess I should remember there is a difference between English English and American English. IIII on a clock is just pathetically stupid though. I am not trying to shit on anyones cultural differences, thats just the way I feel.
