Unfortunately what we actually see here in Canada is completely random.  When 
you see a date written numerically, the only thing for sure is that the year 
is not in the middle.  My local grocery store is rather bad about removing the 
expired food from the shelves, so it makes it extra hard to know if the box of 
cereal labeled 09-11-10 expired sometime in fall of 09, or will expire next 
month, or last month.  Its rather frustrating.

When I rule the world, I will mandate that all dates use 4 digits for the year 
and use three letters for the month.  That way there is absolutely no 
ambiguity.  (I'm really thinking of best before dates on food.)

Wow, this thread has strayed pretty far in to OT land.  That's what I loved 
about unmoderated lists.
