I think every website that writes the month as a number should be blocked/filtered/censored.

Write the month as it's name. Especially if you an American website and use the STUPID MM/DD/YYYY format. NOWHERE else in the world uses that format and it confuses the hell out of everybody.

The chief advantage of a number is that it has less need to be translated into a language-dependent string. This is moot for most websites, which are typically language-centric already, but it's highly useful for client-side sorting.
