[discuss] dates are never autoformatted correctly

[Kyle Bowles]

I'm a student at Oregon State University where you may know Open Office 
has its server in the Open Source Labs.  I just began using open office 
since I came to campus and am finding one feature extremely annoying.  I 
personally like to write my dates yyyy.mm.dd however, as you may know 
Open Office Calc is VERY picky about them being one way and ONLY one 
way.  Even Microsoft Office has more date options that really do work.  
Whenever I happen to write a date, I have my date changed, to the format 
mm/dd/yy not only is this one of the worst, most illogical ways for a 
date to be kept, but unless I insert an additional symbol, it is the 
format Open Office is trying to inflict upon me.  For the sake of people 
who use different formats everywhere, open your options to include all 
the date types windows supports.  Everytime it's changed is another time 
I feel like I should just reinstall Microsoft Office.  My date format is 
perfect for my use, and my company's use.  It's also the most intuitive, 
and its a big problem if I can't easily insert it.  And if I'm having 
problems with software, I'm not going to be refering people to it so 
much.  Thank you for your time.  Have a nice day.

Sincerely,
Kyle Bowles
