when you post a message the date is put like in america, with the month first.
stupid americanisms.
why put the month first?
i mean when your telling somebody how much something costs
you don't say five pound, ninety nine pence, and ten pounds, instead of fifteen nineteen
you'd sound stupid.
start with one sized number/unit, and work your way either foreward or backwards.
even 2003/06/12 would be better tham stupid
06/12/2003
whoever made that up is a bastard; i am not happy
