As I understand it, it's March 4th in European usage

British usage. For Germans, 4/3 means 1.33333. April 3rd is 3.4. here. If you do i18n, do NOT assume there is one consistent European convention. Either use ISO 8601 or a library that understands country conventions.

I wouldn't assume anything if I saw 4/3.

4/3/yyyy would be day month year.

People probably say "Tuesday the 3rd of April, 2015" instead of "Tuesday April the Third, 2015".

(Brit here.)
