we use the dd/mm/yyyy format too in many organizations in the govt.

as for the party pooper comment, if folks have that much time and energy for something so trivial, imagine what you could do with those same assets for something of importance!

Not if you get technical -- there are zeros involved. Even if you don't read all of them, no one says six minutes and six seconds after six o'clock as "six six six." They might not say the first zero, but typically the time is read as "Six-oh-six-oh-six." Even without seconds, it's read as "Six-oh-six" numerically.

Same for the year -- we don't call this year "six" for short. It's "oh-six" if not "two thousand and six."

So, based on the most common ways to read that numerically, it would be something like "six-oh-six-oh-six six-six-oh six."

No fears! :)

I could swear I read somewhere that someone discovered the mark isn't actually 666 but another number. Can't recall though.

I've got a question as this has confused me for a while. Why do you put month/day/year in your date format? It confuses me all the time when I look at US based websites. Tomorrow is 5/4/2006 to everyone here. :)


P.K., it's just an American thing - we do month/day of month/year,
and you do day of month/month/year.

We have to confuse each other, don't we? :wink:

P.K. I guess it's because when you say the date, the month is said first. April 5, 2006.....4/5/06

lol

It just seems odd to me the shortest period isn't first. In reply to the post above most people here actually say the day first so I think it is an American thing made up to confuse the rest of the world. :wink: :lol:
