...which for our non-US readers is 11th January (not 1st November!)
Will you give us any clues?
Can't wait

AKA my 50th birthday.
This won't be Tetroid level. It will be useful though.

I guess most non-US readers, also in Germany, write day before month like Dave. I'm only aware of the British who swap it.martyn_hill wrote:...which for our non-US readers is 11th January (not 1st November!)

I think the UK and all the EU does DD/MM/YY. Here in the good ol' US of A they do MM/DD/YY, which makes no sense to me. That's like writing 12.3456 as 12.5634.
One of the items is OS-related. One is power-related. One is a birthday surprise.

If it is what you've been doing your whole life, then it makes sense.
Same with driving on the right-hand side of the road. May not make sense for a UKer, but it does for other Europeans and Americans.

Yes, you're right. You made me notice that the date format in this Forum is curiously MMDDYY: strange, isn't it?Dave wrote:I think the UK and all the EU does DD/MM/YY

The admins of this forum are drunkards that would make Hemingway blush. We should be grateful it works at all.
Re: [OT] I, Dave, have a major announcement that will...
Generally speaking I think I got your meaning and, by and large, I agree. But I think this comparison is not very fitting. The driving side is arbitrary, while the sense of DMY (or YMD) is to follow a temporal order: from the shorter period to the longest one (or vice versa).swensont wrote:Same with driving on the right-hand side of the road.
