I love the wikipedia entry:Originally posted by Buffoon
The first date is in US format, so has no comment.March 14 the approximation for Pi: 3.14
...
July 22 (22/7 in some date formats, a popular approximation of pi)
The second date is in the format used almost everywhere outside the US and Japan, so it is describe as "some date formats". Yes, just a few.God made men. Sam Colt made them equal.Comment

Why do the yanks use that format? To me it is just not logical. I mean, dd/mm/yyyy is obvious as each bit covers a larger chunk of time than the bit which came before it.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment
