We should always avoid using dates like 01/02/03 as this could be confused for two separate dates. In the American system, the month always come first, which becomes January 2, 2003. But the British system will read it as February 1, 2003.

To remedy these confusions, we should have a universal format of either "January 2, 2003" or "2 January 2003" (without the comma for the latter option). Similarly where the year is omitted, the date would merely be "January 2" or "2 January".
