clear date
Whenever a date has (Month,Day) and NO year, I freak out. I wonder “May nine of this year? Last year? 10 years ago?” I need a full date!

May nine is my birthday
(every year!)
You sometimes can tell if they are talking about this year. Such as someone saying I have a dentist appointment on 4/25 (5 days from when I wrote this). Why would they be talking about a dental appointment they have in 2012? ? .
As far as dates go: I get seriously pissed off when they are presented to me in the American format. If its something like 23, 6, 09, you can figure it out. But if its something like 12,6,09, and the website or document isnt telling me that its not English, how the hell am i to know if i should show up in the summer or winter?
I can’t stand when people only write one digit for the day or month, or two digits for the year. It may have something to do with working with computers but DDMMYYYY is the only way a date should be written.
