title: Difference between dd-mm-yyyy and dd-mmm-yyyy
body: <p>Is it ok to use <code>dd-mm-yyyy</code> or <code>dd-mmm-yyyy</code> for UK. I used <code>dd-mmm-yyyy</code> format in my web application for UK.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Select  CONVERT(varchar(11),ArrivalDate,106)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But the <code>PM</code> asked me,  </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Are you sure that this is the correct date format for UK ?</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I searched on <a href="https://www.google.com.pk/?gws_rd=cr,ssl&amp;ei=m5uZV-X9LoG2a8-0qYAM#safe=active&amp;q=date%20format%20uk" rel="noreferrer">Web</a> but find <code>dd-mm-yyyy</code> and nothing about <code>dd-mmm-yyyy</code> for UK. 
  Can you please tell me whether they both are two different formats for different countries or its just display style and could be used for a country like UK ?</p>
