Hello John Berry, Yes, I am forced to write date as you say. Logic? No way. Then you ought to start with seconds when you give the time. Correct is of course /MM/DD just like the time HH/MM/SS. Another thing to pick up from Europe is the usage of 24 hour clock and to use the week number for

Also, electron-volt is lowercase e: eV Liter is officially outside the SI system, but it is acceptable. It should be capital L, to avoid confusing it with the digit 1. Milliliters are lowercase l as in 100 ml, which is inconsistent. This is supposed to be outside the pale, but it is used. NIST
