Pretty much everywhere outside the US and Canada it's July 12th. Either 
way round, it's ambiguous, and you're not writing for a purely 
Californian audience. Maybe something less ambiguous like 07/DEC or 
07/XII (if Roman numerals are used they represent the month) could be 
used.

> 12M is 12,000, not 12 million.

12,000 would be written 12K here and 12M would indeed be 12×10^6.
