For future reference, much of the world does NOT use the American date system. In my opinion the American system is illogical because the numbers are in a non- hierarchical order. Fortunately on this occasion, the day of the month was above 12. When both numbers are below 12, it creates international ambiguity.
In my opinion it's better to write the month as a word when using a forum accessed internationally. The computer dating system also works well (eg 2017-11-02).
Please don't take this as a personal attack.

I'd understand if the OP had written 3/8 that maybe there was confusion
But if somehow you live in a world where there is the occasional 25month year then that's just you so therefore no confusion whatsoever
I'm also British, born and bred, when was the last time you bought anything in pounds and ounces or your fuel in Gallons..... But the OP gets a schooling for using the format he and a few hundred million others use.
Not fair, sorry
Oh and by the way do you say June the eighth, or December the 25th, January the first
Write those out in numbers..... See how the American system works.......
