The other notations should all be gently put to rest and never seen again.
They're been recommending that format for the last 40 years, I don't see much of the world rushing to adapt.

Hey, the world has gone metric except for three countries, the U.S., Libya and Myanmar. We are NOT in good company.

Computers use that date and time notation. It's the only one with no ambiguity.

It is now 2012-10-11T13:14:17 and I have spoken!

That's not true if you talk to a Mayan. It's just the way some people have interpreted the Mayan calendar.

When the aliens land, show them how much we spend on power cords.

That will scare them away since they will think we are completely unstable!

It took me many years to get to an all Crystal Ultra. It's a good feeling when you're there but there is no rush
