OK, so I am backwards.......won't be the first time, lol. I am also
ambidextrous, which is a good thing. I read your ISO thingie and it is
too confusing, so I will continue to write out the month if needed.

Did you not realize that all of our Canadian newspapers and magazines
have to use American spelling?? (no 'u' in colour, etc)......perhaps we
are using their date format as well.

Yes, lots of businesses in Canada do things the American way but if you go
to any Canadian government organization you will find they use the UK
format. I'm all for international standardization myself. Force the
Americans to get with the times and go metric, bunch of luddites.

In aviation they use feet for altitude and knots for speed. WTF is up with
that malarky? Wouldn't it just be less confusing to use metric for
everything?
