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.
