In the UK (and most of the rest of the world, I think) we also write it as we say it, but we say "see you on the 11th November" (often with an "of" between day and month). I do like the idea of Y:M:D, and use sometimes to avoid confusion, but generally still use D:M:Y, as that's the way my brain says it.

vs Swedish - we use capitals for the month and no comma after it, so today is the 7th June 2005.

The American non-ascending/non-descending order always has seemed weird. Anyone know how it ended up that way - you don't say mins secs, hours for time?
