You all forget the most important question: When is the server back online? ;p

In the US we use all of the formats, even year first, depending on the situation.
But this:

and this:
loftar wrote:To be fair, though, the least ambiguous of all would be to simply write "13 Dec 2014".

are by far the best formats.

I will always admit when I am wrong.

The only format that I have known of being used by Asian is dd/mm/yyyy. I have never heard of yy/mm/dd before. I think the"Asian" system that you pointed out if it exists have to be narrowed a bit.

2014年12月13日 would, I think, be the "normal form" of the implied format.

After further research. Anything beginning with 2014 in date format is indeed trying to reference the 14th day in the 20th month. Which clearly doesn't work.
