I am curious what would be the best way to handle an ambiguous date string in any given language. When pre-validating your user input isn't an option, how should MM/dd/YYYY dates be parsed?
How would you parse the following ambiguous date and for what reason (statistical, cultural, etc)?
'1111900' as Jan 11, 1900 [M/dd/YYYY] or Nov 1, 1900 [MM/d/YYYY]?
