>I didn't know there was an American time format,

He said "date," and you are sort of right:  Some U.S. agencies have begun
to go international (e.g., customs or immigration) and ask for dd/mm/yy
instead of the American format mm/dd/yy, which makes no sense
internationally.  (The most sensible is the old Danube monarchy format
(Austria and Hungary and others?) with yy/mm/dd -- it even orders itself
correctly without special help in a file list!)
