Pedantic Englishman here: 14/10/2014 is used all over Europe, including England. If only we could persuade the world to use an international format: 2014-10-14, for example.

I like using "14 Oct 2014" to avoid any ambiguity. 2014-10-14 is good too but it comes off a bit technical, like dropping scientific notation in an everyday message.
