To fix it, you do not give it nn/nn/nnnn unless you mean MM/DD/YYYY
Can you validate what I mean when I say 06/05/2014? Am I saying Jun 05 2014 or am I saying May 06 2014?
I suppose you might try at guessing, but it will not be validating it.
Unless you only accept one interpretation, you can not remove the ambiguity.
