    Is there an international standard for writing dates?

    		Yes
    The ISO date format

    The international format defined by ISO (ISO 8601) tries to address all these problems by defining a numerical date system as follows: YYYY-MM-DD where

    YYYY is the year [all the digits, i.e. 2012]
    MM is the month [01 (January) to 12 (December)]
    DD is the day [01 to 31]

    For example, "3rd of April 2002", in this international format is written: 2002-04-03.
