          The first date is in US format, so has no comment.
          The second date is in the format used almost everywhere outside the US and Japan, so it is describe as "some date formats". Yes, just a few.

            Why do the yanks use that format? To me it is just not logical. I mean, dd/mm/yyyy is obvious as each bit covers a larger chunk of time than the bit which came before it.
            Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

            I preferred version 1!

                They do now, because they have picked up the American way of speaking, probably from TV and films.

                Personally I say the fourteenth of March.

                Which is of course followed by the Ides.

                  I say 14th of March.

                  And as John Galt will tell you, anyone who disagrees with me is a moron.

                    I find it hard to believe anyone does it differently.
