I started to mail it, but felt strong enough to go through the hassle of
turning my reply into a followup...

It might be "Here we go again", but it is a valid point.  While I am,
as you say, a "Yank" like the gentleman at microsoft, I too have found
it very frustrating...to put it very simply...IT MAKES NO () SENSE!!!
Just like the measurements system that the USA uses.  And just as the
rest of the world uses MKS or some derivative of it, the majority of
the world to my knowledge uses YY/MM/DD, DD/MM/YY or something of that
nature, and NOT the XX/DD/XX form that we use predomanately here.

Maybe the US should take the hint, jump on the band-wagon and ride along
with the rest of the world.  Otherwise, the USA will end up like the brother
who decided to walk to the town in the next county rather than hitch up the
wagon and ride there.  If the first brother does not get on the wagon, who
gets to town first (reguardless of whether or not the first brother can
beat-up the second)???

The UK went to metric, abandoning the measurement system US civilians use.
This also should say something.

NUFF SAID!!! Besides, this is not the best news group for it.
