So in the US if you are telling someone a date you say something like 'June 5Th' (year is optional if in current year). How would people in other countries say it?
5th of June or June 5th, both are valid. However numeric date format has little to do with how it's said. yyyy-MM-dd (and seperator variants) has the benefit of being orderable and indexable chronologically.
