Interesting. I didn't realize that *everyone* else used the other format
for dates. I really was under the impression that most everyone in North
America used the same date format (i.e. Mexico, Canada, USA, etc.) I won't
swear to it, but I'm reasonably familiar with our friends to the north and
south of the US, and I was pretty sure they used the same date format we do
here in the US.
In Canada we are supposed to use DD/MM/YYY :-)
