SubjectRE: [PATCH] Documentation for iostats
Date
Hi Randy.

> There are 3 widely-used date formats, but only one standard one.
>
> 05/15/2003 (US et al order; the worst of the 3 IMO :)
> 15/05/2003 (or your 15 May 2003)
> 2003/05/15 (ISO standard)

The above is just plain wrong...

05/15/2003 - US style
15/05/2003 - European style
2003/05/15 - Japanese numeric style

2003-May-15 - Japanese text style
15-May-2003 - UK style
2003-05-15 - ISO style

Personally, I find any of the last group to be perfectly readable,
but find the first group (especially the first two) plain confusing.

Best wishes from Riley.
