that's not euro dating. It should read 01/05/14b

Wow - You're right. I did not realize:

from: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.europeword.com/blog/europe/european-date-format/">http://www.europeword.com/blog/europe/e ... te-format/</a><!-- m -->

Interestingly the European date format is not used by the European Union itself, and for international affairs many countries opt instead to use ‘ISO 8601’ standard date format. Here the organisation is closer to the US dating but with the year placed at the start, for example ‘2010/12/20’. This provides a standard that allows important dates to be discussed and means that numerical sorting of dates allows them to be ordered chronologically and applied to various algorithms and automated systems unlike European date format.
