    DDMMYYYY is some Euro thing that makes no sense. You don't speak dates like this: "Meet me 17 April 2004." It's not natural.

    Well, actually you'll find that alot of people in the UK will say "Meet me on the 17th of April, 2004". There is a world outside the US, you know.

    YYYY-MM-DD. He's in Europe, so he's using sensible date formats ;)

    YYYY-MM-DD is quite standard

    Quite standard? You can't get more standard then ISO-standard! :)

    I'm not aware of any language where "June" and "6" are the same word.

    Japanese?

    6th of June is literally "6 month 6 day".

    which technically isn't "theft" since he was given the keys, it's more or less a misdemeanor amounting to "borrowing with intent"

    There was a case in Australia, where a taxi passenger pulled a knife on the driver. The driver said something to the effect of, "here! take the money!", handing the knife wielding passenger his money bag...

    The thief was not charged with theft because the taxi driver told him to take the money!
