Lot of talk of numerics only. The problem there is knowing what format the information is in since clearly there are 3 possibilities. Without context and during certain parts of the month you're hosed. Best to remove ambiguity and go with the alpha numeric format.
DD MMM YY (or alternatively YYYY)

Ambiguity gone.
Problem is that languages get in the way. Some are pretty similar like
15 ago(Spanish) being15 Aug(English), but1 ene(Spanish) aren't that similar to1 Jan(English).And for the usual "But English is used everwhere! I live in X!" crowd: NO, it isn't. Not everything you see as an "expat" is the same as the actual locals with their own language.
