Wrong Date.

In Sweden we do it still differently. So today would be 01-10-21. We are thinking that this is most acceptable. Ha det bra, S-G.

ja we have much dating in the sauna. I spaeking figure ingly datively from my mobile ericsson Ha! det bra hookings git me evry tim.

Hmmm - well spotted - that'll be the Amercian Open Source software we're using then....

I asked that a while back I think...because on the sets, its written the British way. I think someone said its because of a template, or something?

Is that the way the Yanks write the date? You learn something every day.. I knew it's done like that in mainland Europe - at least, I hope it is, or I'm going to have to correct one of my stories.

It seems to me that far from being the 'wrong' date it is an eminently more sensible way of writing the date. If, as I do, you file documents chronologically the computer automatically aranges them correctly, if on the other hand you write the date as Mayman would prefer documents would be saved with the first of each month being consecutive followed by the second of each month and so on and so forth. I am sure that this is the reason other countries write it differently to the good old British who used to have twelve pennies in a shilling and two hundred and forty in a pound when the rest of the world was decimal from the start!

thats coz your computer uses software from the states. the rest of the world could only count by using the fingas, so decimals, by weight of numbers, outdid rods and perch's. sounds like a benny hill joke so I'll exit to the sound of fast kazoo music and to the dreams of being chased by women in uniform.

Hah! If we can't control your spelling of 'program(me)' at least we can use the computer programs to control the date! Hah hah hah hah!!

So let's have a metric calender.... 10 days to a week. 10 weeks to a month. 10 months to a year. That'll confuse the buggers and be a good excuse to increase prices... ...Any more offers?

10 years to a decade? 10 decades to a century? Gee, this'll change the world! Wait until y'all catch up with us! Dang, we're jest SO clever.

Could even have a 'metric CALENDAR'.

Can't catch up witcha Hank - you're five hours behind us!
