RE: Y2K heads up - is this troub

Hey!  Sounds like a holy war coming on! <g>

Certainly, most Americans would be very unfamiliar with dd/mm/yy, but using
your logic, mm/dd/yy is even more screwy.  I don't like to have to visually
work through dd/mm/yy, although reading "15 March 2000" is, IMO, elegant.  Not
much use for data storage & date processing, though.

If there were to be a world standard (hah!), I would vote for yyyy/mm/dd.

I for one never understood the dd/mm/yy format.  Why go from the least
specific piece of information to the most specific?

Just my $.02.
