Would that hold true in 'conversation' as well? If I were to say, "I'm going on the 3rd of March." would it still be flipped? Or is the flip more for official purposes, such as dates? I know in Europe it's dd/mm/yyyy, while in the States it's mm/dd/yyyy. If Japan is yyyy/mm/dd, is that only when expressed in numeral fashion or is it in Kanki as well?
