Don't you ever say "February 22nd, 1999"?  That's m/d/y.

No.

What about 01/02/03?

Unlikely, most dates that old get '19' prefixed. or "20", as the case
may be.

Yes, but is it:

January 2, 2003
January 3, 2002
February 1, 2003
February 3, 2001
March 1, 2002
March 2, 2001
(ignoring the six dates from a century earlier)

Not that I was asking for a clear answer.  It was just my example of an
ultimately unclear date.

(...) I'd go for 1st of feb '03. But then, my country is pretty strict in dd/mm/yy. Jasper (26 years ago, 26-Feb-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
