Public Service Announcement:
Our different ways of writing dates as numbers can lead to online confusion. That's why in 1988 ISO set a global standard numeric date format.
This is *the* correct way to write numeric dates:
2013年02月27日
The following formats are therefore discouraged:
02
27
2013 02

13 27
