9 = Date = 9th
3 = Month = March
2012 = Year

Europeans use the date then the month

Yeah, but you gotta understand US mentality, their way is the only way <_<

No its Fing stupid and out of order. I like the Euro system its in order from least to greatest.

Oh?  So when someone asks you what the date is, you say "it's the 13th of February" instead of "February 13th?"  The US date notation mimics the one that you actually use in speech, and it's the one that's out of order?  I find the Euro notation annoying, and all this confusion could be avoided by simply typing out the name of the month instead of a number.

And don't even get me started on using a comma for decimals.  That bugs the crap out of me.

The comma/decimal issue is a language one, not a continent one.

sorry to say but I'm English/European and I say 13th of February as do most everyone that I know which makes your point moot to most people I have met...

Won't it technically only be two days? It comes out on the 8th here, but that'll technically only be a one day wait for us, as opposed to two.

The benefits of living in the future!

At the end of the day, its North Americans making the titles you so love (by you i mean Europeans) so quit the complaining about the disparity of game release dates, it has to do with translations\\PAL\\ and your market system favoring releasing things on Fridays.

Good to know that you use Yoda-speak in everyday conversation.  Awesome that is, indeed.

"day" instead of "date".
In our understanding (may be it's not the same in english) date = time frame with day (number or name+number) / month (number or name) / year (number or number+era (rare))

It's is just scale order:
day : the most variable number, that why we start with it
^
month : people as supposed to know wich month we live in, less variable than days
^
year : peolpe as supposed to know the year we live in, even les variable than month

When we ask for a release date: if the answer is just a number, this number is a day (because this is the shortest reference). If you get only the "day number" it's mean; of this month of this year.
If we get an answer with the 2 numbers, the first will be the day and the second will be the month, though we generaly use the name of the month when annoucing a date unless the date is data, if it's a data, it's only numbers.
etc.

@wizard, if the release date is the 13 february and we are in february, we would answer "it's the 13", you are sopposed to know wich month we are in so, we wouldn't tell it. If we strated to answer with month you are already in, why not use the year also ? it could be pretty boring as getting the year is not needed everytime.
So, we usualy tell info in a scal change matter, if there is no change, it's mean it is the curent one, so we won't say it most of the time.

Good to now you use a system that isn't lowest to highest and uneededly confusing for the rest of the world just because the USA wants to be special all the time

You know, you could drop the jingosim from your posts.  It would help dramatically in not seeming like a douche.

Anyway, perhaps not everyone thinks the same way.  Not everyone thinks in perfectly ordered columns, and as far as I know, the US is not the only country to list month first.  So "the US wants to be special" line that I hear all over the internet simply doesn't fly.  I may have to do some research into this subject to find out why it's different.

I was being tongue-in-cheek earlier, but I guess that didn't translate well, despite the emoticon.

Kinda unnecessary don't you think? I'm British too and he's not lying when he says we all say "13th of Febuary". It's a language thing more than anything. And certainly not something to get rude over. The reason it's said like that is because we say it in descending order rather than the slightly muddled order of the US.

Though I do have to restraint from pulling the "Americans speak English which originated in Britian so technically we're right" card.

Then again in China they do it the opposite, Year, Month, Day, Time.

Tbh. Year, Month, Day is a logical order. So is Day, Month, Year. Month, Day, Year is mess up.

Ah yes, American and their date format. We have dismissed that claim.

According to that, only the US, Belize and Canada use MDY, the rest use either the chinese way (YMD) or the European way (DMY). Also it lists Canada as actually using all three. So technically it's only the US and 
Belize that solely uses MDY.

Not sure what your point was?

EDIT: Oh and I missed it, but also some parts of the Phillipines and Saudia Arabia use it, but they also use DMY, again only the US and Belize seem to use MDY solely. Does anyone even know where Belize is?

Oh you Americans, trolls and jokers to the end. You even elected George Bush twice. Talk about trolling on a global  scale.
