The yyyy-mm-dd format (ISO 8601) is the only one that is unambiguous, because no one so far in history has ever used the yyyy-dd-mm format (at least until some xkcd-reading jokester probably will start using it just out of spite). I use ISO 8601 everywhere. It has the additional benefit that filenames get sorted correctly in lexographical order.

YMDYYDMY
YMCA
IFTSAT
YTMND
Yeenage Tutant Minja Nurtles D
Let there be carnage: DD/YY/MMMM
