It's Twosday, 2/22/22 ! 290 years after George Washington was born This won't happen again for another 400 years, in 2422 ! The ultimate palindrome will occur at 2:22 a.m. or p.m., or at 22:22 military time. ------------- Don't confuse my personality with my attitude. My personality is who I am.

I can't get cornfused 4/5/22 is that the April 5th or the 4th of May ? ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

You must be really lonely. So, you're not confused, but everyone else is around you? Your theory is no different. is 22/4/5 or 22/5/4 what you're getting across? When I took drafting in college, and we were within eyesight of Canada with a few students from there, our instructor had military background, and was a REAL stickler. He ended all debate, do it 23 FEB 2022. And he would take a point off if you didn't do it that way. If you stapled something, it better be at a 45 degree angle, 1/2 inch from the upper left hand corner of the paper to the midpoint of the staple, or that was a point off too.

Up here there is NO formal standard for dating receipts, companies can do whatever they want.... There's no confusion with yy/mm/dd, worldwide it's year-month-day like hours-minutes-seconds..a logical sequence of time. You never see times like 10:9:27 where it's 10 minutes past the 9th hour and 27 seconds..... While the 'name of the month' ends confusion, it's not easily 'nice' to computers for either storing or sorting or other computations. Now if you want to have 'fun', run a business whose fiscal begins on May 1st, have a lot of receipts where it's NOT obvious the day versus month ( 4/5 vs 5/4),then endure a 4 year audit by your IRS ( USA = of my CRA...) ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

I'm not a spring chicken anymore, and I've never seen a date listed in your example format. Anywhere. It's just as prone to error or misinterpretation, all you did was change it to yet a different order, with the same possibility of 2 meanings. Once you write what you "intended", you could write what was intended the other way. No difference. As for computers, well, you're kinda right. But only because of LAZY programmers. No reason you can't assign an "INT" to the STRING, and carry on about your math the usual way. I've done it. You aren't the only one on here who has "cut" code, in your words. This way will never happen, not saying it will. Just saying how a guy I knew solved the problem. The Europeans just do weeks now. So we're in Week 7.

If you're running Windoze, you can change the format of date and time.. The problem with not having a hard universal standard that everyone has to follow,is that dates can be interpreted wrong(British vs American). One of those glass is 1/2 empty or 1/2 full things. re: code. It takes code space and time to convert 'FEB' to '2'. These days no one cares cause memory is cheap, CPUs run fast and it seems no one actually programs in Assembler ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |
