I'm talking about natural in the sense that over the course of years, that's the "convention" that people decided on through everyday use (sort of like culture). Unless people decided to go along with another method of writing dates in the U.S. over the course of many years (and they stuck with it), I wouldn't consider anything else natural than what we use now. Making something like that happen quickly and arbitrarily seems, well, unnatural. As for English being a conditioned thing, same applies for every other language (and almost everything else you know that can't be reduced to pure instinct :p).

Version numbers are useless. Just use a git hash. Whoops... starting to sound like one of the Dolphin devs...
