So I was trying to figure out how to write the date for something I was posting on one of the Canadian boards.  I've done some international travel as of late and it occurred to me that the way I was used to writing the date might not be the way that most Canadians were used to seeing it written.

So I Googled it.

That was no help. It seems that there is a great debate here in Canada too about how it should be written.

Taking that into consideration, I understand that my question might be kind of redundant. But I'm asking it anyway.

How the heck should I write it? Day first? Month first? Should I just write the month out instead of in numeric form to avoid any possible confusion?

Help?!?!?!?!?
