  5. Old news??? by Nivag353 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    So it was released on 4-1-04, well it is 11-1-04 now so this must be old news? Oh wait, perhaps it was an American who posted it, so maybe they meant 1-Apr-04, not 4-Jan-04!

    Please remember this is an international forum, best to include the month as a non-numeric form. I adopted this form (dd-mmm-yy) based on the date printed out by that great American company Digital's computer range called the PDP.

    Though for file names, I use yyyymmdd; so files sort in the right order.

    04/01/2003 was last week.

    Oh sorry, I forgot to switch to american date format, ok, it will come for april fool day. Great.

    Buyer: I come to take my copy of Doom.
    Seller: Ah, Doom, see the date ? Ah Ah ah !!!

    As a side note, I think it would be great to use iso date format in /., at least for the article. It is totally unambigous, standard, and should be more common.

    yyyymmdd or yyyy-mm-dd and no confusions
