month/day/year is not logical in german, thus we dont use it. We also use the metric system in our communist homeland. /mrgreen.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="mrgreen.gif" />
In the imperialistic US, you of course use the imperial system and you use the illogical month/day/year, probably because your language is that way. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Yes, I like the metric system and logic.
Our communist german language has a huge problem though, that our socialist brethren in the UK solved some time ago. We still say "six-and-fifty", instead of "fifty-six". It is highly annoying and should be changed. I hope our communist party forces us to use the new way any time soon.

It's about as relevant. Yet another useless topic for us to debate about right up there with navel lint.

For the record though, AFAIK SandTiger was never removed from the roster since I added him oh so many months ago.

...are you referring to lint found in the navy, otherwise known as naval lint, or lint found in the mid-section of the body, commonly known as navel lint?

Ah semantics. One of my favorite forms of useless arguments. It fits right in with this thread.

...IT'S SPELLING, DAMNIT, IT'S SPELLING!!! It would be semantics if he had said navel lint is disgusting and I were to have responded, I suppose the truth of that depends on whether you are the picker or the pickee.

I'm with pkk

Year-Month-Day, that way all the files are in order when you have 'em in a list.

To hell with your Earth logic.

Americans write out dates on memos and letters like "October 23, 1958"

So it's only logical that it would be 10-23-58.
