PE> Actually, I've had a better idea, and that's to create a %iso.
PE> %iso will give you 1995-04-09 for the date shown above.

BG> Pig's arse, that exactly the sort of bullshit date notation we should

PE> Nope, the Yanks don't use that date format.

Pretty sure the yank military do in some circumstances.

PE> Some European countries do, and it's the only digital date
PE> format that leaves no room for confusion.  The ONLY one.

Nope. There aint one.

PE> just like English is the international language.
