2: Since the rest of the world uses a logical, and at least sortable, dd/mm/yy format, for most of the world it will happen in August.
Actually, large fractions of the world use the much more sensible (and far more sortable) yyyy-mm-dd format (or yyyy/mm/dd, or yyyy.mm.dd, or whatever - the separators are probably the least important part). Most of these places, I note, have cultures that go back more than a century or two, and thus have learned to use more than two digits for year numbers. :) Or, at least, large fractions of the Gregorian-calendar world. I don't know what written date formats are used by the peoples that use the Jewish, or Moslem, or Hindu, or Chinese, or Buddhist, or etc, calendars. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse () rodents-montreal org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
