Wow, just curious why would MM/DD/YY be "reasonable"?!? It's completely non-uniform, I guess the only thing going for it is the fact that it makes some sense in accounting, but that is rather obscure reason to prefer it... :)
Off Topic!!!!!!!!!!!! Its reasonable.. in that... i've chosen a US English keyboard layout, and there is a cultural expectation that dates be presented in that way by default. I would have expected this sort of thing to be a locale sensitive default... but apparently it isn't. I make no claim that US culture is reasonable... just that my software conform to the syntactical expectations thereof. Now I just have to figure out how to beat the software into submission so people don't make unreasonably nitpicky comments about the date format when I'm doing a presentation. -jef"You know your science results are solid when the most contentious aspect of your presentation is the date string format"spaleta -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
