MOD ACTION: Split into own thread and moved to General forum. Maybe I don't like the European date format!  Actually I always preferred the DD Month YYYY format. But I can't help my upbringing of being tied to MM/DD/YY format. |

Its strange, I am flying to Turkey on the 11/09/08 and yet people call it 9/11 with regards to the attack on the twin towers.

Well growing up w/ the American Date Format for 14yrs. I find it very easy to understand and it works very well.

I guess I can see it both ways...
Day/Month/Year is shortest->longest. 11/9/2001
But, when you say the date, you say "September 11, 2001", so 9/11/2001
Unless, of course, you prefer saying "the eleventh of September".

How is mm/dd/yy easier to understand than dd/mm/yy. That's absolutely silly to say such a thing. When you refer to a date, in most languages you generally refer to it as f.e: 9 november 2000... Gasp it's DD/MM/YY!!! The european system actually makes sense!!!???  I really don't think you'd have to make an effort recoding your dates to DD/MM/YY where as 'recoding' to MM/DD/YY is more 'diffucult'... I'd be up for changing the map database :p. P.S the british use DD/MM/YY too as far as I'm concerned. That proofs americans could grasp it just as well . (Since in english you can say both november 11th and the 11th of november. In most other languages you only say the latter) |
