Default Formatting Problem

I want to format a column to not automatically convert the numbers I'm
entering into a date. I highlight the column and click on "format cells".
On the Number tab I click on General which states "General format cells have
no specific number format" and then I click on OK. This is what I think I
want. But when I enter "12-14" in one of the cells, it converts it to
"14-Dec".
