[lace] Date on web page.

2005-01-13 Thread Brian Lemin
A few folks have told me that there is a future date on my web page.  Not 
true.  I have written it in the British/Australian style, not the American 
style.  i.e. day/month/year.

We may have taken on a lot of American spelling and indeed some American 
meanings too, but we have not changed our date style ...yet.  I think it 
will come, and to be honest, I would be happy to accept it.

From experience of family history where dates can be very important 
I've learned that it's best to write out the name of the month, and the 
year in full.
10/2/05 could be; 10th February 05, or October 2nd 05  but 10th 
February 05 and February 10th mean the same around the world - but is 
05  2005, 1905, 1805

Brian,

posting it again.

Thanks,

Personally, I'd rather see us Yanks accepting your way.  It makes more sense to 
me to have either small-to-large (day/month/year) or large-to-small 
(year/month/day) units instead of having the smallest unit in the middle.
