Well, if the first number looks like a year, then there isn't
any common usage date format that I know of which would be YY-dd-mm
where all of the values are numeric. I have seen  YY-dd-monthname,
which is mostly used in Europe. The Canadian/British dates which
cause confusion for the US are dd/mm/yy (always numeric). 

I switched over to using ISO dates (YYYY-MM-DD) when I moved to the
US because I could never remember if it was mm/dd or dd/mm
