No we don't have 15 months,,, so that is THE problem !!!.. That thinking runs into problems with dates such as 4/5, 5/4 etc etc.
It may seem trivial but cost many thousands of lives in WW2 when some dumb ass Yank organised an advance with air and sea cover for 5/6 but was ACTUALLY planned for 6/5, thus the use of generic terminology saves confusion,, NO one ( except a few ) will have problems with 6 MAY,,, or 5 JUNE
Care to enlighten us with a link to the "dumb ass Yank" mistake?
Next time you might try using your 4/5 vice 5/4 reference and keep away from any number higher than 12.

The only quote-worthy reply has been by Bimmer "However it is March 17 2006 at 11:20 PM and I am still thinking about sex.
Bless ALL today being 18 - March,,, NOT 3/18.
expat,,, no I do not wish to go threw thousands of links / pages to look for the 5/6, 6/5 incident but I believe it to be fact.

I have seen the 5/4 -- 4/5 thing used both ways and it's confusing as shit. I like the Military way 05 APR 06...day/month/year...simple.
Perhaps the number game would be easier to understand if they used zeros ie: 05/04/06 
What time is it anyway???

EPC,
I think you also better explain to Mel about leap years. That it doesn't mean that every 4 years he has to go and take a running leap.

AHHHHH leap years,,add 29/02 or is that 02/29...Actually I think it is 29-Feb something non-confusing.
A person born on 29-Feb is known as a leapling and can choose either 28-Feb or 1-March as his celebratory day in non leap years ( or more commonly called "common years").
The most frightening thing about Leap years is tradition states that women can make marriage proposals WTF

So, Mel, would you say 2/28 - 28/2 or 3/1 - 1/3? I'd bet the March one has you confused, doesn't it.
Leap year is that marvelous invention by the Aztecs that adds one day each four years in order for the trip by the earth around to sun during that same four year period to be more or less accurate.
It does not mean you should leap in the lake, play leap frog or leap to conclusions. You may leap to conclusions as often as you wish and do not have to rely on a four year cycle to keep you timely.

Advice on the author's original query about how to avoid getting bitten by stray dogs that seem to hang around city streets...
The only way a single Thai doggy can take on a Farang if approaching one another is by ignoring you and once past you they tend to do an about face and have a go at ya heels/calfs, or what ever smeels tastiest
Solution - So once they go past you abruptly turn around and yell at them - there is no way you will be challenged after that Mr Aplha Male doggy

Expat,,your previous post,,,, was it at 4:07 or 07:4 ???
Time within a day seems to commonly written as,,,, hour : minute : second. ( e.g 12:45:36)
> > >.
Perhaps then a similiar but mirrored sequence of,,,
day : Month : Year makes sense. < < <
To be honest I believe the 24 hr clock is best to save confusion and far superior to both the Thai 6 hour system and the commonly used am / pm Farang system.
As for "leap years" I do believe the honour for that belongs to a fellow named Julius Caeser and his nephew Augustus,, shame they weren't Aussies
