>>>>>>>>Unless Belize or Kenya changed recently, they too use mm/dd/yyyy. Also Puerto Rico, Phillipines, (I think all territories, common wealths, and possessions do, but not sure).

>>>>>>>It depends entirely on what you were looking at. In the programs we do here, I normally use mm/dd/yyyy because it seems to be creeping into the culture more (of course, I make it clear - ie - Date (mm/dd/yyyy):, but governments, official bodies etc still use dd/mm/yyyy. Officially, Canada is dd/mm/yyyy.

>>>Probably not, but only because that's the way we're conditioned. Ok, I hand you a pile of calendars. Do you open each one up and check the day, then discover that it's the wrong month, so you check the month, and then discovering it's the wrong year, go on to the second calendar in the pile and repeat the process? Or do you go to the proper year, open it to the proper month, and then to the day?

>Yes. Or, well... at least, maybe. Ed McMahon will be in touch.

That's OK, no need. That last investment he got me into hasn't been doing so well.
