(Myself, I prefer YYMMDD for computer filenames with embedded dates, plus DDMmmYY for everyday date notation.)

ReplyDeleteSorry for being pedantic.
I use the ISO 8601 date/time format:

I can't help it if they do it wrong. Besides, they all talk funny over there, so it would probably be "Le Day d'Palindrome Internationale" or something.
ReplyDelete;)
"they all talk funny over there"
ReplyDeleteLaaaaadyyyy!
Tam is right. The natives will just have to learn to speak English.
ReplyDeleteWho built the Isthmian Canal, anyway?
A man, a plan, a canal. Panama!
Doc, note. I dissent. A fast never prevents a fatness. I died on cod.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I couldn't help it.
I DIET on cod.
ReplyDeletePushing my CDO button.
11/02/2011 is palindromic (?) on both sides of the Atlantic. We just disagree on what day to celebrate it on. (Damn. Ended a sentence a preposition with!)
