        I just realized, I've been working for 6 years now. Started on 01-09-2004*. Switched jobs only once - and what timing that was! 3 months after I left, they sold themselves to Big Bad Financial Institution That Shall Remain Nameless, which fired more than half the employees. Working has been many things to me, but it's been very challenging, and I like it a thousand times better than college. How long have you been working? * Note to Americans: over here, we write dates correctly. ;P

        Added smiley - there's something wrong when a tongue-in-cheek comment garners the most responses. And yes, yyyy-MM-dd is way better than any of the other two formats.

                  Absolutely, beats the pants off the other two formats. But of dd-MM-yyyy and MM-dd-yyyy, the former is better any day.

                      Not when 99% of users habitually give dates in the latter format without thinking. :rolleyes:

                                  I prefer to work in AP (After Pete). Thus, all dates are referred to as numbers of seconds since people become aware of me; I like to keep them on their toes constantly calculating. It's not a perfect system, but it's mine - and as everybody else is but a figment of my imagination it's not my problem.

                                  I have CDO, it's OCD with the letters in the right order; just as they ruddy well should be

                                          Not when 99% of users habitually give dates in the latter format without thinking. :rolleyes:

                                          3x12=36 2x12=24 1x12=12 0x12=18

                                          Only in the states! Europe, most of Asia, China and I think India all use the more sensible format. Your view is quite parochial. The only reason mm/dd/yyyy gets a look in outside the US is that it is the windows default format!
