But, is the meaning clear? Does he want May 1, 2014 or January 5, 2014? Regionalization... arrgh!
That's why I tend to write the phone as alphabetic and avoid the issue...

Your regional customs are irrelevant. You will be assimilated.
Also, year-month-day sorts easily.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Down that path like a nightmare, I work with a POS call Murex where the dealers can enter all sorts of crap 1.2m, .78k, 300k and the system interprets it. The problem comes when they supply the original values to downstream systems. PLEASE make the bastards conform to some data standards.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

If only there was a language where you could, say, surround the value with some delimiters, a number sign (#) perhaps... 
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Mr Sawickio escaped with only minor abrasions but said the incident served as a wake-up call and he will try and reduce his alcohol intake.
Lucky they ran over his head, he might have gotten hurt.
