Or the 5th of July for normal speaking people.

OP needs to recalibrate his decoder ring. It is July 5th, which will be the new British Independence day celebrating when America liberated Britain from the tyranny of Britain and annexes the entire island. Only then, will the TRUE Anglo-Saxon patriarchy begin.

I like Month/Day/Year because it goes in highest numerical potential order (i.e. max of 12, then 31, then, well, infinity I guess).

I prefer the ISO standard of YYYY-MM-DD which increments most logically (smaller number increases more frequently like proper numbers) but the Australian and English standard is DD-MM-YYYY in order of most changed to least changed.

I like 4-digit-year/month/day. Pretty clear and logical, hard to get confused.

Honesty though I'd say it as 5 July 2016 [or "5th of"] mostly though.
