So there seems to be some mechanism for deviating from the local norms. It looks like you have not overridden those dominant local standards with your own preference of standards ... like ISO 8601 for instance ... which makes a whole lot more sense than any local variant. In the end, it is not really a big deal but rather a little constant irritant. Now that I know that I can hack the locale file, I will. But to not present that choice in the UI is a little user-hostile. /Mike
